How to choose the proper canoe paddle length!
It's torso length not your standing height!
The best method to determine the proper length of a canoe paddle is to sit because you are actually sitting while boating on the water.
Here is a method to determine the proper length of a canoe paddle that is perfect for your use.
Sit down in a position as if you are sitting in your canoe by kneeling down with your seat situated six inches above the floor. Measure the length from your nose down to the floor. Add this length to your desired blade length and the sum will be the proper length of the canoe paddle that is perfect for you.
