Posted 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago Rayven Junior Boarder Posts: 31   I'm looking to buy a new paddle for canoeing. What should I be looking for? Most of the paddling I do is flatwater. What types of wood? How do I figure out how long a paddle to get? Any thoughts would be appreciated. The administrator has disabled public write access.

Reach your arm above your head. Between your fingertops and the ground would be a reasonable length for your paddle. The administrator has disabled public write access.
