My question to you or others is this: Do you still use your original paddle or has the "traditional" paddle become the exclusive paddle of choice. The reason I'm asking is that it seems to me that on high wind or rough water conditions, and on long trips the Greenland paddle would be a better choice. On light wind and short trips, or if I feel like "getting aerobic" for a half-hour the Werner Camano is my weapon of choice. I have heard it advised to find a paddle you like and stick with it, but so far I don't have a problem switching between the two styles. Feel free to get technical, I can handle it!
