Tahitian teardrop blade as it was first presented back in the mid-1970's, has become one of the most universally used forms. The shape was borrowed from the Tahitians, by world wide paddle makers & shapers for outrigger canoeing communities. A very forgiving shape, easy to acheive high stroke rates, ease of "feathering" during the recovery phase of the stroke. The medium flex shaft is less stressful on the joints.
