Sizing your Traditional Paddle

Regardless of the model of the straight or bent shaft paddle you have selected, the overall length should be determined by the shaft length from the top of the grip to the throat of the paddle.

The following formula applies: the shaft length should equal the distance from one's shoulder to the water line of the canoe. This will allow you to paddle below your eyes with your upper hand while keeping your lower hand close to the throat.

To determine the approximate length sit erect on a flat hard chair or the floor and measure the distance from the surface to your chin. Add 6 for the approximate distance the canoe seat would be from the waterline. Thus a person whose chin-to-chair measurement is 26 would add 6 to arrive at a 32 shaft length. Looking at the specifications of our various models you would find that you would probably use a 50 Touring Bent Shaft, a 54 Voyageur or a 56 Chieftain. A one or two-inch variation would not have much effect in usage so try for the closest shaft length for the model chosen. Remember to consider that canoe seat heights vary as might a ‘comfort range’ that you might feel more suited to.

The only exception to this rule would be our Hammerhead paddle. A completely different technique is used for white water canoeing and you may end up adding approximately 12 to your chin to chair length.

Technical Information

Sizing your canoe paddle

Regardless of the model of the straight or bent shaft paddle you have selected, the size should be determined by the shaft length rather than the overall length.

The following formula applies: The shaft length should equal the distance from ones shoulder to the waterline of the canoe. To determine this distance, sit erect on a chair and measure from your chin to the seat. Add 6 to this figure to get the approximate shaft length.

Thus, someone whose chin to chair measurement is 26" would add 6" to come up with a 32" shaft length.* This is equal to a 52" Touring Bent Shaft, a 54" to 56" Sugar Island or a 58" Chieftain.

* This figure represents a rough guide from which a plus/minus 2" comfort range should be considered. Also, canoe seat placement will affect shaft length.
