In Response To: Paddle: Blade Shape (John Bell)

Yes, I hav noticed the same thing. I have one paddl I made with more square tips and it is noisy compared to the others. I make all of my paddles with rounded tips now. I also make my GPs with thinner blades. In additon to a paddle being quieter, the flexibility is easier on my joints.
