Mark,

Much of the Brooks "Greenland gear" is made at the request of the Greenlanders themselves (this includes the tuilik, akuilisaq and the avataq (float)). I saw at least one Brooks akuilisaq (short spray skirt) used in Greenland, and in fact I used one for racing with a borrowed Greenland kayak. The akuilisaq is currently $122.00 USD.
