Blade Size Guide
Larger Blade: Larger blade sizes are for more powerful paddlers and that need short powerful strokes (surf conditions). Those going with a bigger blade may want to cut their paddle an inch or two shorter than normal. The 100 and 110 blade sizes are intended for shorter more muscular paddlers who will be utilizing a high torque rate. Smaller Blade: The majority of paddlers especcialy those paddling flatwater conditions choose the 90. If you are a woman or a taller guy this is the paddle for you.
Paddle Height Guide Paddles should be cut 10 inches over your height for all flatwater paddling, 9 inches over your height for flatwater/surfing combo, 8 inches for paddle surf only use. If you are going with the 100 or 110 blade size you should subract an additional inch from the above suggested length.
