"Can" vs "Is good for" are the issue with me.  I only suggested that with the small area, it may not have
the bite that a larger blade would have.  I've c-c'ed with the Sabella, comparable in area and found it
iffy.  The longer Greenland blade allows more leverage, which may offset the paddle size, so I'd not
make further comment until I try it.
