Because the majority of the paddlers in the photos uses we paddles of plain blades and not of concavous blades. And which the difference between arched handle and straight handle of I row it.In the truth I have my vision but it would like to know the vision of other paddlers too.Here in Brazil we go developing outrigger with very little contact.

Many the blades used are 10 to 12 degrees to the handle also straight. Concavernous blades are carbon fiber sometimes but mostly not woody because of hardness to shaping. Easy for same paddles to be use in changeout races with different paddles. Developing outrigger is to loving the outrigger. Keep it up in Brazil! Summary: what you paddle uses when going fast is best paddle.
