Great video, love the energy and the keenness for a challenge, I did this to myself with skiing>snowboarding>telemark and loved the growth. Just bought an Ipik, came here to see if the company had a video but was disappointed, please make a video for this product too?
I love and only use Greenland paddles. I paddle on lk Erie in Ohio. I use a hand carved paddle that was given to me. Someday, I will buy one of your paddles. It will be a while, got to save up.
I learned to paddle in Okinawa using their native wooden paddle that has a blade very similar to the GP. I have far less experience with a euro paddle being forced to use one only when on guided tours. So I am coming from the other side. I currently have the Akiak and find it immensely easy to use. I wish to try the Ipik because of the oval loom. I also hope it is a little more buoyant. Wooden paddles always feel buoyant. In Okinawa we paddle by digging the blade in to the hilt (loom) and sweeping back in an almost vertical stroke probably like Hawaiians do. On my own kayak I am not so aggressive. I stroke like a penguin flying my flippers through the water. I end in the braced position. Next time I take a guided tour I will take my GP with me. Mostly retired folks anyway taking those tours through mangrove forests so I have no worries and will easily stay ahead.
There are a lot of seniors in kayaking. For me, maybe others, the video is too many clips too fast, it makes me dizzy. I had to quit after a minute in. But I hope it works for everyone else.
Such a beautiful made video. Great footage! I think anyone who uses the GP will agree with what was said in this video!
I love my Gearlab paddle! 💯🤩.
Great video!

Why are greenland paddlers slower too?
