Coming from a wing paddle - where the larger half of the blade
goes upwards, I started orienting my first surf paddle
accordingly.

I suspect I have the white surf paddle in the attached link/photo
upside down.

Which paddle is oriented correctly - the one with black or blades
or the one with white blades?

Yeah, I saw that... but I don't comprehend the meaning of
"down-tipped". Sounds obvious, but when I look at the blade

Seems logical to print "Left" and "Right" somewhere on one or
both blades.... OTOH, maybe they tried that and users felt their
intelligence was being questioned.... -)
