Unsurprisingly, the South Greenland kayak is a hybrid of the East and West types. The construction process resembles the western one, but the kayaks are smaller and thinner, and look more like eastern kayaks. The hull itself is different, though, more like a West Greenland kayak, with a combination of hard, single chine and flat bottom.

This makes the South Greenland kayak more well rounded and less demanding than the East Greenland kayak, and a sensible choice for those who want an elegant little kayak that's easy to paddle.
