size and shape. The most common blade

: is between six and seven inches wide and

27 inches long. For the wide ‘range of |
water conditions which most paddlers
encounter, from deep lakes to. boiling,

rapids, this blade’ provides the best...

overall compromise of shape and. sur-
face atea.

But there are times when a paddle must’ : 4

be tailored to the job at hand.‘
Whitewater canoeists, for” exauiple,
favor the advantages afforded by sho!
stubby paddles as wide’ as 10 inches or
more and resembling wooden snow
shovels. The wider blade gives ~ tore
‘bite’? in shallow, rocky currents and
requires a shorter recovery stroke ‘than

conventional paddles. However, more

muscle is needed to push the larger sur- .,.
face area through the water, and a wider
blade is more likely to wobble unless
your grip is sure.

By contrast, paddles of the fur-trade era
were thin, almost sticklike. They
enabled the voyageurs to ply the deep,
lake waters of the north and pole and.
pry their huge canoes along twisting
rivers. Narrow paddles offer this same
versatility today, and are popular stern
paddles,. where. they afford quick .con-

trol over the blade angle during various -

steering strokes,

Length

‘To paddle comfortably ‘and efficiently,
your lower hand should rest just above
the surface of the water with a relaxed
grip on the throat, In a “textbook”
stroke,. your upper hand pushes forward
at about shoulder height. Higher or
lower than this means less than op-
timum leverage. From the front, this
movement resembles throwing a slow-
motion punch. For this reason, il's the
length of the shaft rather than the
overall length that should concern you.
Most paddlers opt for a longer paddle
than they need, and find, as they settle
into a comfortable stroke, that a third
af the shaft is underwater along with the

* preference and prej

blade.

Handle

The style of grip is a matter of personal
lice. The familiar,
pear-shaped -grip
popular because‘it- can be comfortably
held, from various angles. Whitewater

_ paddles are fitted with T-shaped handles

which permit a white-knuckle grip'and
allow precise‘contro! over the blade’s
angle in the water. Still opher paddlers,
including many old-timers, lean toward
rake-handle straight grips which are
held. from the side, much as Indian
blades of the past. ‘
Materials,

The of ional.

wooden paddles are light weight and an
undeniable aesthetic. appeal. Their
disadvantage. lies in their tendency to
warp, crack and split with age and
abuse, The better blades are cut from
heartwood, and may be recognized by
their close, straight grain and lack of
knots, ripples and other flaws. They are

lightly: finished with, clear marine var-
nish or urethane.

Laminated wooden ‘paddles seek to
combine light weight and strength into
an attractive package. Wider blade wid-
ths suitable for whitewater paddling are
possible with this construction method
with less. risk of splitting. Beware,
however, for tao many laminated blades”
are poorly made, glued without clamps

using scrap wood of any and all quality, °

then thickly varnished to hide im-
perfections in the wood.

Aluminum paddles, though virtually in-
destructible, are heavy, unattractive,
noisy and uncomfortable on hot or cold
days. As with ‘canoes, fiberglass appears
lo be the most suitable compromise
between the appeal of wood and the
durability of metal. An added ad-
vantage is the almost unlimited ver-
satility of fiberglass in molding blades
to graceful, sometimes

shapes. s
Care

Alter a season or two of wear, sand the
paddle down and refinish it completely

+ with at least two coats of waterproof

varnish or urethane. If the blade is weak

+ or cracked, apply a fiberglass patch.
by far the most .:-

The trick is to brush-on a light coat of
polyester resin to the sanded paddle

- before laying on the fiberglass cloth and

two additional coats of resin. Emergen-
cy repairs to both paddle and canoe can
be made with gray ‘“‘duct tape’?
available at any hardware store.

Most important, buy a good paddle in
the first place. Buying a paddle from a
bargain barrel in the local tire store is
asking for trouble. Never, never invest
in a painted paddle. You should look
carefully at the grain pattern — the

narrower the better. A single knot and.

the paddle should be rejected. Finally,
sight along its length to check for
trueness of blade and shaft.

In short, look carefully for resilience,
strength. light, weight. fil, and comfort.
Next time you're up the creek it won't
be without a good paddle. e

. 12 teams vie

in: volleyball

tourney here
A two-day senior girls

- volleyball tourney takes

place this weekend at Selkirk
College.

Hosted by Mt. Sentinel

and Stanley Humphries sec-

ondary schools, a total of 12

teams are expected to take |
part. These are from the east
and west Kootenays and the
Okanagan.

Coordinated by Kevin
Morris and Joé Moreina, this °
is the first of what is planned:
as an annual event.

The first game starts at
2 p.m. Friday goitig on to 10
p.m. with Saturday's play
starting at 9 a.m. continuing
to 8 p.m.

Excused from

winners’ circle

” The starter said “go"=.—(It
swas long before the use of
the modern starting gate).

e harness horses made
for the’ first: turn of the
Truro, N.S. track, their
drivers fighting for positions
of advantage.” pary

Cries of “Come on,”
Johnny”, heard on every
side, encouraged the master
Maritime reinsman, Johnny
Conroy, up behind the
hometown favorite, Captain

by Colley.

Suddenly there was _
short, sharp collision, and
the sulky seat behind the
“veteran pacer was empty. |

The driverless horse took
off in pursuit of the field,
tucked himself in position
along the rail, made a deter-

mined bid in the stretch and :

won the race. He returned,
all alone, to the winner’s
circle to thke his‘ bow. He
was set. back, of. course,

because without a driver he .

could not be credited with
the win.
