Good reply and it echoes my sentiments.

Paddling with a double blade is not a religion you do not need to take it on faith you can see for your self.  But don’t stand up in a canoe and walk around in it until you flip it over then claim these things are too dangerous to use because they tip over. If you learn how to use a canoe or a double blade you might like them or not.

To add to WIF’s PS
Single blades are better for winding narrow creeks.
Single blades are better for getting near wild life.
