Craig and All, Comparing the GP and EP is like comparing apples and oranges. Both have to be tweaked a bit in their own ways, and both can perform very well in the right hands. I've enjoyed using both over the years, but with adjustments in my forward stroke and paddle design and sizing, I've been enjoying the GP more lately. I'm not telling people to use one type of paddle over the other. However, being exposed and dabbling a bit never hurt anyone. Regarding my carbon fiber blade/wood shaft (Euro) building instructions, I think you can build a one-piece paddle that's about as good as one you can buy, save a few hundred dollars, and have the pride of using a paddle you designed and built.
