This dramatically reduces the processing time to make products from these high tech materials and so the Glass prepreg range of paddles with their inherent high-performance characteristics can be offered at cost-effective prices that transform the affordability for High-End paddles. This construction offers the same strength as carbon prepreg paddles but with a little more weight & flexibility, which is sometimes a paddler preference.   One-Piece Carbon Straight Shaft AINSWORTH uses a carbon composite prepreg shaft with a percentage of bi-axial glass that increases the UTS ( ultimate tensile strength) of the shaft.  Glass has 3-5 times the elongation at break as carbon, and when laminated with the stiffer carbon material the best of both materials combine to make the ideal construction for paddle shafts.   Length 215 cm / 84.65 in 220 cm / 86.61 in The most important factors in choosing the length for your paddle are your height and the type of Kayaking, Canoeing or SUP’ing you\'ll be doing.

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. Children require a shorter paddle In general, the longer the kayak, the longer the paddle.    SUP Paddle Guide Height (cm / feet) Paddle Lengh (cm / in) Under 5’ /  152.4cm 183 cm / 72 inches  152.4 – 160.02 cm / 5’ – 5’3” 188 cm / 74 inches 162.53 – 172.72 cm / 5’4 – 5’7” 193 cm / 76 inches 172.72 – 175.26 cm / 5’8 – 5’9” 198 cm / 78 inches 177.80 – 182.88 cm / 5’10 – 6’ 203 cm / 80 inches 185.42 – 193.04 cm / 6’1” – 6’ 4” 208 cm / 82 inches Over 195.58 cm / 6’ 5” 213 cm / 84 inches
