Traditionally the throwing board (Norsaq) was used to add power to the throw when harpooning prey. A throwing board is well suited to train Greenland rolls and a great passing stage to learn hand rolling. Looks great on the fore deck.

The knob harpoon is the most common and versatile of the kayak harhoons and is closely linked to seal hunting from kayak.
The knob harpoon from GreenlandPaddle is the harpoon type commonly used for kayak hunting in Greenland. The harpoon is a replica of a knob harpoon made with only a pocket knife and a file by hunter 'Pavia' from Kraulshavn in the Upernavik vicinity. In contrast to the original the GreenlandPaddle harpoon is fitted with hard wood in stead of bone on places exposed to wear. The wood used is Iron Wood that ensures a strong harpoon that is not easily effected by the wind. The harpoon includes a throwing board that ads power to the throw.
