Bending Branches Angler Navigator Hybrid Wood 2-Piece Kayak Paddle: When determining paddle length, the kayak width is the limiting factor for recreational kayaking. The sizing chart below should ensure you aren't hitting your knuckles on the hull as you paddle. For sleeker touring/sea kayaks ones paddling style and physical size plays more heavily. Kayak Width Under 23" 24" to 28" 29"-33" Paddler Height Recommended Paddle Length Under 5'5" 210-220 cm 220-230 cm 230-240 cm 5'5" - 5'11" 220 cm 230 cm 230-240 cm 6'+ 220-230 cm 230-240 cm 240-260 cm In a sit-on-top kayak, if the seat is raised 6 inches or higher above the base, add 10cm in length. An easy way to measure in the field is to hold a paddle horizontally in your hands with your elbows slightly inside a 90 degree angle (most paddles are ovalized in the area they should be gripped). Your hands should be about two-thirds of the way between the center of the shaft and the shoulder of the blade. Again, always take stroke angle and boat width into consideration.
