In Response To: Greenland Paddle (Don)

Yes, similar idea.

A Greenland paddle doesn't quite feel the same in a "slap" brace, but I really prefer to do a solid sculling brace with it. I've used mine so much lately I'm more comfortable with it in rough conditions than with my Euro.

It's a big matter of what you're used to...

: The more I use my greenland paddle the more I enjoy it. The only time I'm not
: comfortable useing it is in rough conditions. When paddleing in rough
: condition with my euro paddle I turn the bottom of the blade foreward so
: that my paddle stroke is also a braceing stroke to give me the stability I
: may need. Is this same technique what I should do when paddleing in rough
: conditions with a greenland paddle? Or what tips would anyone have for me
: to help brace while paddleing. Thanks for any help.
