: The long axis of the oval is perpendicular to the blade. The long
: axis fits your hand, while the blade is perpendicular to your
: hand's bones.

: For example, with one hand, stick out two fingers. When you grasp
: those two fingers with the other hand, which way fits? At what
: angle do you want the blade on the end of the paddle shaft when
: the shaft is in your hand?
