Does anyone make a carbon kayak paddle with narrow "Greenland" shaped
blades, as in about 4 inches?  My selfmade wooden paddles are light and
comfortable, but I can't help wonder if they could be made even lighter,
for racing.

I have both a wood Greenland built by Superior and a carbon Eddyline
Windswift.  Both are 7'6" so I can compare them directly.  Both are great
paddles.  The Windswift is VERY light.  It has narrow blades but is not
really a Greenland paddle.  However, you can use exactly the same Greenland
style forward stroke as you can with the Superior wood paddle.  Sculling
braces are not the same, but you can still scull ok.

You might want to look at the "Sea Swift" (I think these are the narrow
blades" from Eddyline. They are narrow, incredibly light but curved.
