Talk:Edi Hans Pawlata

Pawlata, claimed to be the first European to roll a kayak, and he became known as that. But Fridtjof Nansen and some of his fellows from the 1888 Greenland Crossing built their own kayaks and learned to roll when they had to stay 7 months on Greenland waiting for boat opportunity back to Norway. There's an article in the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet from 1895, I think, describing roll demonstrations outside Kristiania(Oslo). I just have to find the reference....

 * And, before Nansen, the German Carl Julius Spindler in 1865 (http://www.tidsskriftetgronland.dk/archive/1983-8-Artikel05.pdf#page=1) and even before that, The Dane Michael Hvidsted in 1765 (http://www.tidsskriftetgronland.dk/archive/2002-6-Artikel01.pdf#page=20) Bernt (talk) 10:28, 27 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks everybody - I found a reference in English at A Greenland Rolling Timeline and will amend the article imminently. Alansplodge (talk) 10:51, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
