Topic: Kayak Paddle Size??

Wow, j'espère que tu vas guérir rapidement! Au moins tu as des kayaks que tu peux utiliser

If it helps, Adam and I both have 194 paddles for down river, and Adam bought a 191 for playboating since he was having shoulder issues. The shorter the paddle the less stress on the body. Ultimately, I think it's a personal preference thing like paddles for canoeing. Some like long paddles, some like short paddles.

Just wondering what size of paddle I would need for a playboat (Project X 64) and a creeker (Villain large). I've developped a really bad case of Osgood-Shlatter Disease on my left knee so canoeing is over for me, at least for 6 months anyways. I will re-fit my C-1's into kayaks and learn how to roll those things this winter. I'm 5'11". Thanks.
