Paddling Tips:
- Your top arm should not be too high or over your head when paddling. A paddle too long will not allow your top and bottom arms to work together. This could result in joint or shoulder problems.
- If you use a fast stroke rate, a narrower blade is more efficient and less tiring. Most all of the top pro canoeist use 8" to 8 1/4" wide blades.
- Most people are learning that bent shaft canoe paddles are out performing straight paddles. You have to be careful on selecting the proper angle of your paddle. A 12 degree bent shaft is a perfectly balanced paddle that will allow your top and bottom arms to work equally. Your back will also be in a better position to put maximum power into your stoke. You will be able to increase your stroke rate easier, as your arms and back will be in the proper position when you start your sprint. The 14+ degrees works well, but it favours your bottom arm and forearms. Straight paddles favour your top arm power and don't have the proper angle coming through the water as the bent shafts do. Bent shafts clear the bow of the canoe easier when switching sides, as the blade is angled upward.
