| The storm roll may be performed as a Pawlata
or as a Screw roll. The wind-up positions are the same except
that in each case the edge of the forward blade is angled in
towards rather than away from the boat. After capsize, the blade
is pulled in a vertical arc from bow to stern and becomes a long
vertical sculling draw rather than a horizontal sculling sweep.
The storm roll is to the vertical paddle roll what the pawlata
is to the put across. It is impractical on rivers because of
the depth needed for the paddle, but a study of film taken in
Greenland shows that it is the preferred roll of the Angmassalik
Inuit. The observer can recognise a storm roll by the pronounced
lift of the bow as the roll begins. |
