I've seen people on rivers using kayak paddles in canoes. I'm a yaker, but
also have 2 solo white water canoes. I HAVE tried using a double blade, but
actually found it much more rewarding to learn to properly do the canoe
paddle thing. And it was not any more difficult. But try both

All of my paddling experience has been with single paddles in a tandem
canoe. In a few weeks I'll be spending quite a lot of time in a solo
canoe
(a Prism) in touring mode. Is there any advantage in using a double
paddle?
Disadvantage?
