SUP - How to SIZE YOUR SURF Paddle
As a general guide for sizing your surf paddle add 8 inches to your overall height to determine the paddle length.
The chart (below) is based on 8 inches. However, depending on the type of paddling you intend to do, it may vary.
The reason we give a range is because of the differences in technique, boards and water conditions. While our data is anecdotal, it is based on the trends we see with our customers and team riders.
"Heck, half of our team riders don't even know how long their paddle is. My thoughts on paddle sizing is based on my shoe buying method. I never listen to the shoe salesman, the shoes are on my feet so how would he know how they fit?" - Dave Chun
