: I agree that paddles are personal thing. I also think that if many of the
: proponents of greenland paddles would spend as much time and effort in
: becoming proficient with a good (non-fiberglass) euro paddle they would
: find the differences far less compelling.

: To try to give the "euro" paddle another advantage: it is an
: "open" system. Where the greenland paddle is held by tradition
: regarding what is "right" and "wrong", the
: "euro" paddle is open to constant innovation. It is free to
: incorporate what is good from the greenland tradition and add new ideas as
: they come along.

A question Nick how many native paddles have you made? How many hours have you used a native paddle?
