Kayak Paddle Sizing Guide

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

This guide helps you find the right kayak paddle length and blade size using your body measurements and kayak width. It includes presets for recreational, touring, and whitewater kayaks, explains common sizing mistakes, and gives you a printable sizing card to take to the store.

Enter your height, torso length, and kayak width. The calculator recommends a paddle length range and suggests a blade size.

Use the presets to see common kayak widths. Print or save your results for later.
