Marc,
I see a big difference in smaller spoon paddles on longer trips and I like to go for miles more than speed and I have gravitated to shorter shaft and smaller spoon. I am still learning on my Greenland paddle and have yet to take it on a long trip. I enjoy paddling it more and I think it does work better with my body. I think could do a lot of miles on it and feel good. My problem is it is hard to keep a Greenland paddle from slobbering unless you maintain a consistent cadence and I tend to stop to take pictures and I get paddle slobber all over me.
