We were invited to present the Puvirnituq Qajaq Project during the IPSSAS conference in Wendake, Quebec, in May 2013.

We had the great opportunity of having Maligiaq teach us more advanced rolling right here in Puvirnituq!

It's fun!

With Aisa Sivuarapik, Noadamie Qumaluk and Charlie Sivuarapik (first hand roll!).

New roll by Juanassie Eliyassialuk!

On prépare des sushis une fois semaine pour amasser des $$ en vue de notre prochain voyage: cinq jours de qajaq avec le champion groënlandais Maliqiaq Padilla!

We raise money once a week for our next trip: five days of qajaq training with Greenland Champion Maliqiaq Padilla!

 This form of gymnastic is a component of traditional kayak training in Greenland.
