The dwarf paddle sat on top of their kayak and helped them roll when their Greenland paddle was dropped. Norsaqs - also known as rolling sticks, rolling pins, throwing sticks, atlatl, and woomera - are now rarely used as originally intended with harpoons, but they remain a tool used in many styles of Greenland rolls.","brand":"Gearlab Outdoors","offers":[{"title":"Not Applicable \/ -","offer_id":48748123717954,"sku":"GRBAPICB-  -","price":205.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/3708\/0642\/files\/VPO_GearlabOutdoors_Pikatti_Not_Applicable_1.jpg?v=1724392207","url":"https:\/\/checkout.vpo.ca\/products\/pikatti","provider":"Valhalla Pure Outfitters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
