: 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.

Most of the time now I'll use the GP, just find myself I enjoy the feel more, also stresses the joints less, for me at least, better as you get older.

That said I've got all sorts of different paddles and they all get used on occasion anyway.
