Abstract:
A hybrid paddle for use in both a standing and a kneeling position is disclosed. The paddle has a shaft terminating in a blade at each end. At or near each throat or junction between the shaft and a blade is a handle. The handle has a grip sufficiently offset from the blade to allow a user to grip the handle without his or her hand colliding with the blade. While kneeling, the user grips the shaft with both hands, and alternates the placement of the blades in the water. While standing, the user grasps the handle with one hand and the shaft with the other hand, and a single blade is placed in the water. In this way, the same paddle is used in both the standing and kneeling positions, and the user can alternate between standing and kneeling as desired.

Claim (Index 17):
A hybrid paddle, comprising:\n a paddle, comprising\n a shaft between a first end and a second end; \n a first blade at the first end; \n a first throat comprising a first junction between the first blade and the shaft; \n a second blade at the second end; and \n a second throat comprising a second junction between the second blade and the shaft, \n a first handle comprising a first grip and configured to removably attach to the paddle at the first throat, and a second handle comprising a second grip and configured to removably attach to the paddle at the second throat.
