Inuit Design Greenland Paddle for Kayaking
1.What is a Greenland paddle?
A Greenland paddle is a paddle in the style of those traditionally used by the Inuit of
Greenland. It is characterized by long, narrow, tapering blades and a relatively short
loom, or shaft, that is typically one-quarter and no more than one-third the length of
the paddle. Unlike Inuit paddles across the Davis Strait, the loom is not carved in any
way that would interfere with the sliding stroke.
A Greenland paddle is narrow so the hand can grasp the blade near the end without
having to grasp the tip, which on a traditional paddle is connected to the blade by am-
ortise and tenon joint. So the extreme width of a Greenland blade should be no wider
than the paddler can grasp between the web of the thumb and the second joint of the
forefinger. A paddle that has a blade too wide to grasp is not a Greenland paddle, be-
cause itcannot be used like one.

3.About Kingpaddle 3 section Greenland paddle
The distinct surface on the carbon paddle allows for a firm grip, even when it gets wet.
The paddle offers a high-friction surface just like a wooden paddle, yet feels smooth
and, as such, protects against blisters on the hands.The paddle comes in a three-piece
design. The joint is a hexagonal carbon fitting secured with a simple snap lock.

5.More about the Greenland paddle
The Greenland paddle has become increasingly popular among sea kayakers in North
America, Europe, and other parts of the world. Apart from its romantic association with
the people who taught Europeans to kayak and to roll, the narrow-bladed Greenland
paddle is popular because it is easy to brace and roll with and is not very susceptible
to strong winds. Also, because it slips a little at the beginning of a stroke, it is easier on
the muscles, and thus less atiguing on day-long trips than wide-bladed “Euro”-style pa-
ddles. A further benefit for northern kayakers is that the Greenland paddle is adapted
for paddling in freezing conditions.The shoulders where the blades and loom meet ma-
ke an ice-coated loom easier to grip, while the narrowends of the blades, which are im-
mersed in water while paddling, offer an ice-free grip for emergency braces and rolls.
