After getting a boat, your paddle is the next most important thing to have on the water. With the aid of numerous types of strokes, paddles can efficiently propel and maneuver the boat in any water conditions.
Canoe paddles are made up of the blade, shaft, and grip. They come in plastic, aluminum, and wooden forms with either a straight or bent shaft. A slightly smaller version of these paddles is also used for whitewater rafting.
