ABSTRACT:
A paddle for watercraft is provided which has an elongate shaft on which is provided a handle. A blade is in fixed relation with the paddle handle and defines blade edges and opposed blade sides. A lateral force transmitting steering rib projects from one of the blade side faces and is oriented in substantially normal relation therewith. The lateral force transmitting steering rib extends from the free terminal end of the paddle blade, opposite the connection of the handle with the blade and extends along the longitudinal axis of the blade a distance of from about one-third of the length of the blade to about one-half of the length of the blade. The lateral force transmitting steering rib may extend along the entire length of the paddle blade if desired.
