The West Greenland kayak is characterized by a flat low deck with graceful upsweeping ends, hard chines and a pronounced vee bottom. This is the premier boat if you want to learn Greenland style rolling. This is a sporty boat, typically low volume, well suited for playing in waves and surf. This boat has a small, ocean cockpit. These are designed to be form fitting, performance crafts- best suited for more experienced paddlers.
