  • Sizing your Recreational Paddle

    Regardless of the model of straight or bent shaft paddle you have selected, the overall length should be determined by the shaft length from the top of the grip to the throat of the paddle.

    The following formula applies: the shaft length should equal the distance from ones shoulder to the water line of the canoe. This will allow you to paddle below your eyes with your upper hand while keeping your lower hand close to the throat.

    To determine the approximate length sit erect on a flat hard chair or the floor and measure the distance from the surface to your chin. Add 6” for the approximate distance the canoe seat would be from the waterline. Thus a person whose chin to chair measurement is 26” would add 6” to arrive at a 32” shaft length. Looking at the specifications of Grey Owl's various models you would find that you would probably use a 50” Touring Bent Shaft, a 54” Voyageur or a 56” Chieftain. A one or two inch variation would not have much effect in usage so try for the closest shaft length for the model chosen. Remember to consider that canoe seat heights vary as might a ‘comfort range’ that you might feel more suited to.

Very comfortable to use

We've used a pair of these at the cottage for quite awhile and have not had any issues. As long as you aren't doing anything unreasonable when going back in swamps like pushing off a rock when the canoe is stuck you can expect to have this paddle last a very long long time. It is hardy, but if your canoeing experience is more about seeing how far you can get down a beaver channel then use an old beat up paddle.
