How to change the size of your paddle

The adjustments depend on the kayaker and the vessel: A short paddle for white water and narrow kayaks (< 60 cm wide). *Short paddle = between 20 and 30 cm more than your height A longer paddle for touring and wider kayaks (> 60 cm wide). *Long paddle = between 30 and 40 cm more than your size

How to adjust the angle of your paddle

The adjustments depend on the kayaker nd the vessel: Between 0° and 45° for white water, where quick movements and reactivity are necessary. Between 45° and 90° for touring, where reduced windage is required to reduce the necessary effort. If in doubt, just following your feeling...

How to paddle

Low hands, horizontal, or low angle: All of these terms mean the same thing. Your paddle is on the thin side and is long; When touring, you'll be looking for duration rather than strength. This technique means you can manage your exertion and limit fatigue High hands, vertical or high angle: Your paddle is more vertical and short, it's more intended for use in whitewater or competitions. This more vertical technique is more physical and requires more energy
