Double Your Pleasure

We’ve had many requests from paddlers who want to emulate the super strong Tahitians, like Shell Vaa’s threepeat at the Moloka’i Hoe. So in the Tahitian style this paddle has a double bend (15 degrees where the blade meets the shaft and 7 ½ degrees at mid-shaft) which improves wrist position. It also has a large blade, but it still matches up well with other paddles in a team boat.

How to SIZE YOUR OUTRIGGER Paddle

The Vana has an 18" blade, 2 inches longer than our other paddles.  To compensate for this it is suggested that you add 1 - 2 inches to the length on this chart. Use the chart to help you determine what length paddle might be best for you. The following are some things to take into consideration:

  1. If you have broader than average shoulders, go to the high end of the range.
  2. If you have a longer torso than average for your height, go to the high end of the range.
  3. 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.)
  4. Remember, these are general guidelines so please take into account your personal preferences
