Paddles
 | All paddles have two main parts; the blades ( two for a kayak, one for a canoe) and the
shaft. |
| The blades of a kayak paddle are offset in relation to each other. While one blade is
pulling in the water, the other is trying to slide through air. The offset allows the
blade to slice through the air more easily. |
Feathering
| It is the action of turning the paddle blades with each stroke so that they enter the
water square to the direction of pull. |
| Feathered paddles make it possible to move faster and are ergonomically better for the
kayaking action than non-feathered paddles. |
