Definition: A two-handed implement consisting of a shaft with one or two blades attached to the end(s) used to propel a canoe, kayak or a small boat. A paddle is unattached to the boat and freely operated with the hands, compared with an oar which is attached to the boat at a pivot point. A single-bladed version is typically used on canoes and some other small boats. A double-bladed version with blades at each end of the shaft is used for kayaking.
