The Adjustable length telescopes with four settings, each 1.5 inches apart; perfect for those individuals who move between touring and surfing.
Here is a discussion from Werner on the two major types of Stand Up Paddles.
What size paddle do I need?
Typically, you want to choose a paddle that is 8-10 inches longer than your total height. So, if you're 5'10" you'll want a 78-80 inch paddle. Sizing stand up paddles is easy once you know how to do it!
| Height | Paddle Length |
|---|---|
| 5'2" | 70-72" |
| 5'4" | 72-74" |
| 5'6" | 74-76" |
| 5'8" | 76-78" |
| 5'10" | 78-80" |
| 6'0" | 80-82" |
| 6'2" | 82-84" |
