I was concerned that there would be a steep learning curve switching from Euro blade to a Greenland paddle. Honestly, I don’t know why I didn’t switch over years ago. Gearlab’s Kalleq paddle is an absolute dream!! I’ve had 2 wrist surgeries and have dealt with frozen shoulders in both shoulders. Euro blades have stressed those respective joints, but not this paddle. This is the most incredibly lightweight and über easy to adjust to paddle I’ve ever used. Happy retirement to me!
