I'm looking to buy a new wood paddle, and have a question re: single vs double bend, as well as the degree of the bend. I'm relatively new to the outrigger sport, so would appreciate some feedback.
When would it be appropriate to use a single vs double bend paddle? Are there certain conditions where one would be better than the other? What is the advantage to having a double bend vs single, and vice versa?
Paddle degree bends seem to vary. Is there a standard or approved spec?
