IMO, forget about the 'Greenland' paddle recommendations. 90% of the folks I see using Greenland sticks are arm paddlers who like the Greenland because it's 'easier on the shoulders'. If you have good stroke technique, you'll do better with an appropriate standard paddle, or a wing. Just ask yourself: "What does Freya use?" :-)

So...If I'm actually reading this correctly....I will be able to paddle just like Freya if I change to using a Wing paddle...otherwise if I stick to a Greenland paddle I will automatically arm paddle.......HMMMM Quite the statement.

Best Wishes and thanks for the Monday morning humor {and what should I do if I see most people using a Euro blade, arm paddling....OH Yeah....WING IT.
