Use the chart to help you determine what length paddle might be best for you.
The following are some things to take into consideration:
- If you have broader than average shoulders, go to the high end of the range.
- If you have a longer torso than average for your height, go to the high end of the range.
- When ordering a paddle to be used with a one or two person canoe, go to the middle or low end of the range. (Most people use a shorter paddle in a one person versus a six-person canoe.)
- Remember, these are general guidelines so please take into account your personal preferences.
