Foam core

The foam core in the paddle blade

keeps the front and back laminate layers apart, making the blade thicker without adding much weight. This makes the blade stiffer, so the force is put less into deforming plastic and more directly onto the water.

The difference is like between 2 sheets of paper and corrugated cardboard (which itself is just 2 sheets of paper + the corrugated middle paper): the corrugations keep the two layers apart, making the construction much stiffer.
