Does anyone have a link to designs for a double blade kayak paddle?

I won't go back to the standard, Euro, paddle

Me neither - I've made a dozen GP's. Do yourself a favor and go Greenland!

But, if you must have a Euro, for some reason, here are some free plans by designer Michael Storer (Boatmik, here on the forum).

Actually, a Euro with good drip rings will likely keep you drier in a canoe than a GP. A GP doesn't aggravate my forearm tendonitis, though, which I developed solely from whitewater river paddling with a standard Euro paddle.

Take a look at http://www.rooster.dk/sider/Pagajbyg1.PDF

If you want text translation, I'd gladly help.

Oh, and hello everybody - I'm new and from Copenhagen, Denmark.

I prefer the Euro paddle designs myself.

In any case, match the paddle to your needs.
