I am a Haida canoe maker in Alaska. I find your description of the paddle's use to be accurate. I would include that it is quite effective in actively stabilizing the canoe's roll. This is especially useful when taking novices out for the first time, when they have a tendency to react inappropriately to the canoe's movement. I appreciate your article, thank you.
