One advantage for me is that I can cruise all day with a Greenland paddle and
not feel too awfully beat up, where my Lendal Archipelago will trash my arms
and shoulders after a long paddle.  Maybe that's my technique or stroke or
something --- and I'm not a fanatic about Greenlands.  Maybe they're more just
forgiving of a lousy stroke.  Bottom line for me --- they work.
