The "cree-style" design is definitely an interesting shape - it seems to have evolved from the shape of neighbouring Inuit double blade Kayak paddles. The design also seems very suitable to the narrow-width black spruce trees that grow in the region.<br /><br />The experience you wrote about with the paddle performing very well with the Canadian stroke is exactly what I observed too.

I'm very interested to hear how you like this paddle design. <br /><br />If you haven't already seen it you might be interested in my review of a Cree style paddle I have been using since last summer. It is my favorite paddle and received good reviews from other paddlers who have tried it. It is interesting to me that this style of paddle has not received wider adoption.<br /><br />Here is the link: http://100lakesonvancouverisland.blogspot.com/2009/08/paddles.html<br /><br />Look forward to your next update...<br /><br />RichardRichard Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955947507429942573noreply@blogger.com
