A one-handed, forearm-braced paddle has a blade at one end and a forearm brace at the other interconnected by a central shaft portion. The shaft has a rigid control handle that has a base end fixed to the shaft, and, extends from the shaft to a hand grip portion. The hand grip is shaped to allow a user to clench it, and is thereby radially spaced away from the shaft to further allow the user to apply longitudinal leverage on the blade, or else give the user leverage with the application of a twisting torque on the blade. The control handle is furthermore goose-necked shaped and arching away from the forearm brace so that the user's fingers are relatively unimpeded by any of the shaft, blade, or base portions of the control handle.
