for the GP. I am not a GP guy. I am a giant blade euro guy, but... I could not find anything good for young small kids. I bought the Werner Sprite and didn't like it. So I finally made a smallish greenland paddle out of a red cedar 2x4 for $19. I used the free video and plans that are easily found on the internet. Extremely light and balanced for young kids and the pull through the water is something they easily handle. Good luck
