I can't seem to find success canting a Euro as much as the Greenland
Paddle.  I seem to get more ventilation, possibly due to the rib on the
back face of the blade when the paddle is canted to 45º.

So...you can, but why would you?

Again, you could build a euro with the same profile and action as a
GP....but most manufacturers _don't_.
