Lew:
You're absolutely right. Given the different purposes that the original Greenland kayaks were designed for (versus our mostly recreational use) and given the technology available at the time those kayaks were truly amazing.
But it's difficult not to over romanticize the original designs and take for granted the advances of modern science. I'm in awe of both the native Greenlanders and designers like Nick who understand the physics of it all.
