A paddle 10 to be worn on an arm 18 of a user comprising a blade 12, a fastener 14 for fastening the paddle to a user's forearm, a spacer member 22 and a flexible handhold member 24, the spacer 22, blade 12 and handhold 24 being arranged to form an open loop to receive the user's hand. Preferably the blade can transition from a stowed position (figure 1a-b) to a deployed position (figure 2, 3b) and further preferably is biased in order to return to the stowed position when the hand is not holding the hand-hold. Preferably the spacer is L-shaped and the spacer and hand-hold together go diagonally across the blade (figure 2). Preferably the spacer is pivotally attached to the blade in order to adjust the position of the hand-hold. The device allows a surfer to paddle out into the sea but to then have their hands free whilst surfing a wave.
