Pack-boat paddlers, who sit on the bottom of the canoe, have also found this to be an effective paddle because they can have a shorter overall paddle where the shaft is suitable for their stoke and the blade, being shorter, is easier to get in and out of the water from a sitting position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"empty_space_image\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_row wpb_row section vc_row-fluid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"full_section_inner clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_column-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"q_elements_holder one_column responsive_mode_from_768\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"q_elements_item\" data-animation=\"no\" data-item-class=\"q_elements_holder_custom_386134\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"q_elements_item_inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"q_elements_item_content q_elements_holder_custom_386134\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBadger\u003c\/em\u003e’s signature hand shaped transitional ridge (between the shaft and blade) allows for a strong backbone traveling well into the paddle blade.
