As a once very happy Euro paddle padder, and for the past six years an
avid Greenland Paddle (GP) convert, I'm going to have to go with the GP
crowd on this one.  After making the switch several years ago, I've only
found advantages with the GP over the Euro; and I really loved paddling
with the Euro paddle! (haven't used it even once since the first time I
tried a GP).

Most of my paddling is local day tripping, but I have paddled with boats
fully loaded as well, and I still wouldn't want to use anything but my
GPs.
