Aspect ratio is merely the ratio of length to width. In this case, we're talking about the paddle blades. A high aspect ratio paddle blade is long and relatively narrow, and a low aspect ratio blade is short and relatively wide. It's not specific to a greenland paddle, canoe paddle, etc., it's just one measure of blade shape. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
