For me: A Greenland paddle is a double bladed paddle without feather - distinguishable by blades which are longer than the loom, sized such that the hands grasp both blades simultaneously during the stroke. A Euro paddle is a double bladed paddle which may be feathered - distinguishable by having a loom which is longer than the blades, sized such that the hands grasp the loom during the stroke.
