The most recognizable variation of a spoon blade is the "wing" design most often used by racers. Its scoop-like design has a rounded edge that provides lift along the backside – similar to an airplane's wing. It requires solid torso twist strokes and the path of the blade through the water is angled out away from the boat and longer than the conven...
These are the long, narrow blades, typically on a shorter, thicker shaft than those found on a "normal" blade. A low-angle stroke style is most often associated with these blades. They aren't as well suited for quick, powerful strokes but rather for more finesse and endurance. A cross-section of both blades reveals a convex form. The Aleutian form ...
The most commonly available paddle on the market is a combination of most of the features mentioned, modified by each manufacturer to some degree. Referred to as "Euro" style blades, these are most often asymmetric with a degree of curve, sometimes with a slight dihedral built in. Within that general Euro style are variations in width/length/curvat...
As a paddler begins the stroke, water builds up on the surface, becomes agitated and exerts pressure unevenly across the surface of the blade. The blade begins to twist or flutter as that water flows off the power face, especially as that angle of the blade in the water changes. That flutter/twisting tends to be more prominent in wider blades as th...
All things being equal, a larger surface is going to push more water. Since a vertical/high stroke generally utilizes a shorter paddle, that blade is normally shorter but wider than are preferred for the longer, touring, horizontal stroke. The need/use of power in the high stroke is more efficiently and effectively achieved with a broader, shorter ...

Manufacturers vary in offering excellent options within their product line regarding shapes for kayak paddle blades. As with all gear, your best bet is to attend a demo' day and try out different shapes and...
