Wilderness Tripping/'Freestyle' Paddles
Canoeing.com Definition: Typically modeled from classic designs, the long, slender features of the paddle's blade tend to be less than 7" wide and at least 21" deep, (ideal for 2'-3' water depth when paddling). The long, rounded blades provide efficiency for propelling the canoe forward with every stroke making these paddles ideal for longer day and multi-day canoe tripping. The traditional blade styles in this classification include; ottertail, beavertail, voyageur and Algonquin.
