In Response To: Re: Greenland Paddle (Wayne Smith)

Why would there be any difference between Greenland and Euro paddles in this regard? The basic principles and motions of rolling, bracing and sculling are the same regardless of the paddle type.

If you have entanglement concerns, use a wrist leash rather than one that attaches to the boat. You'll be able to shift the paddle around as much as you want, but it will still be attached to you. Wrist leashes can be quickly and easily made from sail ties available at most boating stores.
