Welcome to Qajaq Rolling

This site is mainly devoted to Qajaq rolling. I build Skin on Frame Qajaqs and Greenland Paddles as well so there may be some information and updates for those subjects as well. 

When I started rolling I had just started paddling and I didn't have anyone to teach me. After scanning the net I learned how to do the Standard Greenland roll. After a while and a lot of struggle I found Cherri Perry and Turner Wilsons DVD "This is the Roll" 1 and 2. This helped a lot and I learned not to cheat on the fundamentals. Still there are not a lot of people doing advanced rolls. If you find one to guide you close to where you live, you are one of the few lucky ones. I wish I had a rolling master living close by as I started out.

The idea of this site is to share my journy of rolls down the Greenland rolling competition list. What I found easy, hard, what I focus on etc. I do not intend to teach as much as help and come with some hints and tips on what helped me. If you find the story informative or inspiring I have fulfilled my goal. I hope that you and your friends will join me in some competition rolling one of these days.  Roll On!
