Title: Re: kayak paddle vs canoe paddle
Post by Preacher on May 18th, 2010 at 4:26pm
Lots do it and I would if my canoe wasn't so fat, 37" at the gut!  I can't yak-paddle because I keep knocking gunwales on the recovery side using the longest yak-paddle I could rent.  I'd need a >10' paddle.

The big bonus is efficiency.  Every stroke is a power stroke.

The big minus (imo) is style.  There's nothing like a single paddle for that connection between canoe/paddler/water.
