This disclosure relates to paddles for use with a watercraft and is particularly adapted for use in a watercraft such as a kayak. Paddles according to the present disclosure include a moveable portion that allows other portions of the paddle to move in relation to one another such that a user can apply force and a smaller range of motion and utilize leverage to translate the force into a larger range of motion. In some embodiments, the paddles comprise a linear center portion that is connected at either end to two handgrip portions, which are in turn connected to two bladed distal ends. By utilizing the handgrip portions, a user can rotate the linear center portion about its central axis and cause the distal ends to also rotate in kind.
