Bigger blade is, if you overshoot it, just a faster path to shoulder surgery. And can be slower if oversized for the paddler.

Speed is in cadence, not blade size.

Big paddle blades are like a low gear on a bicycle - lots of torque and good at low end, but not as good at higher speeds. Smaller paddle blades is like a high gear - good at high cadence at higher speeds, but not as good at sprint starts.

You only get to choose one gear, as it isn’t that easy to swap out paddles mid trip.

I carry a spare paddle and have swapped out in fast water. Its not impossible. But it is not a normal thing.
