daTextBox=Paddles - Choosing the right shape and length: Proper paddle technique is an important component to riding an SUP. Having a paddle sized for your height is important to insure that when you are paddling you are standing tall and straight. Our paddles are designed to be easily cut down aftermarket to your exact size. The length of the paddle after being cut down should be a "shaka" (4-6") taller than you. Paddle blade designs are aimed at two major criteria. Some paddles are designed for long consistent paddling (flat-water), these feature a longer, tapered paddle blade. Paddles designed for quick paddling (wave riding) have a shorter broader blade template. History | History2 | ABC's | ABC's 2 | ABC's 3 | ABC's 4 | Choosing| Choosing 2| Choosing 3| Choosing4
