We have tried to help you with this by creating a paddle guide, this is a guide only and there are other points to consider: Personal preference is also an important factor. People with long back require longer paddles. A longer paddle gives you more support and makes it easier to learn to roll. A floaty blade such as the AFT Classic range gives more support and the paddler uses less energy.
