: I don't think anyone can really tell you which paddle would be best for you.
: Since you have the capability of making them both, then thats what I would
: do. There are many different styles of greenland and euro paddles that
: behave differently, so you might end up making many paddles to fill your
: interest. Try them both and see what feels good to you. Enjoy.

graham, I agree, if you can build both, probably best to do that and see.

However to anyone else who is in the know, what would be some of the advantages of using a Greenland paddle over a European paddle and visa versa. Beginner paddlers quickly turn into intermediate and experienced paddlers. Personally I might not want to build too many paddles but try to get the feel for the style of paddle which might have the greatest long term advantage.
