A one-handed paddle for use in pairs with paddleboards, each paddle comprising a longitudinal main shaft, an axial ski pole type grip on the upper end of the shaft and aligned with the shaft axis, an elongated elastic wrist/arm strap on an upper surface of the shaft near the grip defining a tunnel for the arm generally parallel to the shaft in an unstretched condition, and a blade on the lower end of the shaft, the blade set at an acute upward angle to the main axis of the shaft. The blade has an inverted, rounded L-shape, with an inwardly-facing upper shoulder extending inwardly above and beyond a lower inner edge of the blade, the shoulder configured to ride along the upper surface of a paddleboard during the push portion of a paddling stroke.
