Ping pong paddles or larger game paddles are excellent to have
somewhere in the 'yak in case you do something accidental and / or
dumb (with me it's usually dumb) with your main paddle and have to go
catch it. You can paddle with just your hands, but it gets old very
fast and I'm lucky the current wasn't fast last time I did a stupid
(Set my paddle on the bank while I lit up a cigarette. Paddle didn't
float away, which was the point, but the 'yak and I did, which was not
intended.).

Only a fool would refuse to believe in luck. Only a damn fool would rely on it.
