It's funny how we all have different takes on things - I find it's very
easy to brace with the greenland paddle.  In fact, I think I do better
with that than with the euro paddle.  Maybe because it's very buoyant. 
What I have trouble with is draws, especially the hanging draw.  I'm sure
it's just a matter of technique, and I haven't mastered it yet.  But I'm
working on it.
