( ie wide blade, bent blade, beaver tail blade etc.) --snip-- I had success with a cheap Mohawk paddle (plastic blade, aluminium paddle -- available at marinas just about everyehere, and extremely inexpensive). I ground the blade down to narrow it. To shorten it, I popped off the but, sawed the shaft, and popped the butt back on. To arrive at the best size for me, I only shaved and shortened a little at a time.
