How Do I Choose A Paddle?
Choosing a paddle is largely a matter of personal preference. There are many sizes, shapes and materials available. If possible, try a number of different paddles and choose the one that feels best.
Keep in mind, a paddle is an extremely important piece of gear that can make or break the pleasure of a full day on the water. Take the time to decide what works best for you.
You can view an online guide from AT Paddles to help you narrow your selection using the sizing chart.
