A propulsion paddle system including a paddle-assembly having a pole including a first-end, a second-end, a handle, a floater, and a paddle. The handle is proximal to the first-end, the floater positioned between the first-end and the second-end, and the paddle is proximal to the second-end. The paddle includes an inverted umbrella profile which is configured to open and close to allow the pole to move forward with minimum friction. When the pole is pushed backwards, the paddle opens up to move a maximum volume of water and propel a user and a floating device such as a paddle board, boat or other watercraft through a body of the water. The present invention provides a pole and paddle combination that enables users to exert their energy efficiently when propelling a floating device, such as a paddleboard.
