The Flo is an assymetrical bland design best used for speed cruising, creeking on shalllow creeks, and cruising/playng. It's strong suit is its ability to take full strokes at low angles of attack- such as when applied on shallow slides. You get a lot of grab fast on shallow sweep strokes with this one. It also has a nice full grab with a sweet smooth entry for low impact- ideal for speed cruising or pulling heavy loads like when you are kayak/camping. You can flip it over and use it upside down for an articulated stroke for some variety- but that might not be ideal for demanding whitewater settings as it damps down the "catch" torque. This blade is so smooth it just disappears in your hands! It's one of my bigger blades and can be custom sized for your needs.
