In July 2004 four members of Qajaq-København went to Tasiilaq on the east coast of Greenland to build traditional eastgreenlandic kayaks. The two kayaks that were built were handed over to the local kayak club "Tsaqit Tasiilaq" and are now used by local members. The main reason for us to start this project was to establish closer relations to Tasqit Tasiilaq and promote interest in traditional eastgreenlandic kayaks. Unlike on the west coast of Greenland recreational kayaking with traditional skin on frame kayaks hardly exists on the east coast. Often the traditional skin on frame kayak is substituted by kayaks made of plastic or fibreglass. Equally when it comes to hunting (especially Narwhale). By the time the project began Tsaqit Tasiilaq had asked for membership of The Greenlandic Kayak Association (Qannat Katuffiat) but was refused entry because the number of traditional kayaks compared to modern kayaks was to low.
