Getting Aboard. Enoch Nielsen, best kayak roller in the village of 

 Igdlorssuit, West Greenland, wriggles into his kayak on the beach before 

 embarking on a kayak rolling exhibition. Note that he is leaving the 

 harpoon line stand and gun bag in place. (Photo by Kenneth Taylor) 



Pausing on Surface. Kay- 

 aker supports himself on the 

 surface of the water by a scull- 

 ing stroke before starting the 

 roll. Note that Enoch Niel- 

 sen's body is twisted so that 

 his shoulders are parallel with 

 the surface, thus submerging as 

 much of the body as possible in 

 order to gain buoyancy. {Photo
