I am very concerned with feel when I make a paddle. Sharp edges get the paddle into the water faster, with less resistance. That's crucial in a longer paddle, because your stroke rate is slower. Personally- I hate feeling like I lose forward momentum when the paddle is out of the water, so the faster I can get the paddle in and to the powerful part of the stroke the happier I am. Sound is secondary to me, because the bow of my kayak makes so much noise. I paddled a lot last week and I was really noticing it...
