  • Paddle blade that allows use of a handle and/or paddle for any way paddling
    Patent number: 8100733
    Abstract: The invention is the addition to traditional shafts used for stand-up paddling that normally have a standard paddle at one end of the shaft and a handle at the other end of the shaft. The invention incorporates a second paddle attached to the shaft at the location of the handle. The paddle may have an interior opening surrounding a portion of the handle to enable a user to grasp the handle with a user's hand. Alternatively, the body of the paddle can be oriented at an angle relative to the handle so that a gap is formed between an interior surface of the body of the paddle and the handle so that the handle can be grasped by a user's hand with the user's fingers resting in the gap.
