HOW TO : paddle size ?!!!?
This is the charte size to choose your paddle’s sizes.
Before, please, note these points : – Usually, a small SUPer prefers the smallest size in the charte, the opposite for a tall SUPer. – A shorter paddle than what this charte advise will be more maneuvrable on the wave and allow you shorts turns and to put more angle on the board. – On hollow waves, use a shorter paddle to be closer to the face in barrels and to reduce turn’s diameters. – A shorter paddle means more frequency but is painless for your shoulders. – A shorter paddle is advised for short and thin boards. This charte is designed for beginners on a big board from 11′ to 12′ like a NFA 12′ for example. Please, reduce the size of 1 or 2 inches per foot less. For example, a 6’2 tall SUPer will use a 79” on a 11′ or 12′ board, a 77” on a 10′, a 75 on a 9′, and a 73” on a short board like 8′ or less. So it is usefull to ride a paddle of your exact size when your are an expert. – A short paddle is great for windy conditions. – A long paddle is so powerful and efficient for take offs. – A long paddle gives you a better balance. – The more your paddle is long the more “row effect” you have, so the most difficult is to paddle straight. – You definitely need more than one paddle in your quiver : you can break it and you need to choose it regarding to the conditions of the session and save your shoulders. The paddle components don’t change this charte. – Paddle of 63” for a SUPer size from 4’7” to 4’10”. – Paddle of 65” for a SUPer size from 4’9” to 5’0”. – Paddle of 67” for a SUPer size from 4’11” to 5’2”. – Paddle of 69” for a SUPer size from 5’1” to 5’4”. – Paddle of 71” for a SUPer size from 5’3” to 5’6”. – Paddle of 73” for a SUPer size from 5’5” to 5’8”. – Paddle of 75” for a SUPer size from 5’7” to 5’10”. – Paddle of 77” for a SUPer size from 5’9” to 6’0”. – Paddle of 79” for a SUPer size from 5’11” to 6’2”. – Paddle of 81” for a SUPer size from 6’0” to 6’4”. – Paddle of 83” for a SUPer size from 6’5” and more.
