Competition Canoes:
In order to Buy the correct sized canoe paddle, one must measure and size it correctly.
The most accurate method of sizing paddle length removes leg length from the equation.
- Sit in a chair and measure the distance from the chair seat to the bridge of your nose or eye-level, this is the length of your shaft and grip.
- Add the blade length of the paddle model you prefer in order to obtain the overall paddle length. Overall canoe paddle length is measured in a straight line from the tip of the blade to the top of the grip.
Recreational Canoes:
Follow the above procedure, except, measure the distance from the chair seat to eye level, and add blade length. Add 1 ½” to overall paddle length for C-1 and Recreational canoes.
