We believe that boats up to 35” wide, with an average height person paddling would prefer the 260cm paddle.  If a person were taller, they may prefer a 280cm paddle.

In a boat 35” or wider, a 280cm paddle is recommended.  This would be for a person of average height.  A smaller, shorter person would not likely solo paddle a boat this wide.

As a quick guide for customers, use this chart:

Canoe Width	Under 35”	35” +
Paddler Height	Recommended Paddle Length
Under 5’5”	260cm	Not likely
5’5” – 5’11”	260cm	280cm
6’ +	280cm	280cm

Color patterns may vary due to natural variations in the wood. Can't find the paddle you want? Even though our dealers may not have the paddle you need in stock, they can order it for you.
