A kayak paddle has blades configured to generate forward kayak momentum in each one of the three paddling movements, being more effective than known paddles, using its hydrodynamic profile to reduce formation of turbulent and eddy currents when moved in the water both, during insertion and retrieval. The paddle is characterized by a blade with a cross section in which both edges are curved, the frontal face is convex, and the back face is either flat, concave or both, but not convex, so as to benefit from the water flow around the surface or “Bernoulli Effect”, specifically on insertion in deep water and retrieval from it, producing forward motion of the kayak due to such hydrodynamic forces.
