When I hold the paddle that way (the way you recommended), it doesn’t work very well as a spike. The picture doesn’t show it very well, but the shoreline goes up at about a 30° angle, so landing is a matter of surfing forward for about 30 feet, then plunging the nose of the kayak into the sand as if it was a javelin.
Losing some paddling efficiency while landing is an acceptable trade-in for being able to use the paddle as a raftpole.

Looks like fun. But you’re holding the paddle upside down - the slope on the far edge of the paddle from you is supposed to parallel the water surface as it enters.
