What is the ideal length of a paddle for a woman 5'3" tall...

I would say 230 is probably best but it also depends on the width of your kayak. In most cases I would say 230 is best. 240cm might be good if your kayak is like 34+ inches wide. Yes it depends on what kind of kayaking you're doing too. If you're maneuvering white water, maybe shorter 220cm.

You should be able to put one end of the paddle on the ground, and curl your fingertips over the other end at the second knuckle. This will likely be about a 200mm length. However, there are other considerations. It also depends on your kayak and the type of water your plan to kayak in. If your kayak has a wide, stable bottom, you might find the extra length of a 210mm more comfortable. If you plan on river kayaking, the shorter 200mm will be easier to maneuver around river obstacles. If you will only be in lakes, I would go with a 210mm, or even a 220mm. If you plan river kayaking, I think you will be happier with the 200mm. My wife is 5'3". Shis is a beginner, and really likes her 190mm, because we mostly river kayak. This model of paddle is not too expensive, so if you buy it and then don't like the length, you can buy another length and sell this one used on Amazon or some other site and will only be out about $30.

Sorry to answer so late . Had to get to them . The paddle it self is 17" long . The width is 6" and at the wide's is 6-1/2" . They are nice oars . Light weight . U will need to get a oar lock for a small size then 1" . They have a thin shaft . Hope this helps .

You may find a little difficulties to paddle if your arms are short. I am 5'10, In my opinion, oars should be a little longer. I bought a small trolling motor mounted in the back. It is very helpful when encounter with wave and wind.

You might want to go for a 3" pad. My husband is 5'10", 200# and I'm about 150# and it's held up well for us.

It is 4 inches from the bottom of the pad to the end of the handle. Only about 3 1/4 inches is grippable though as some of it is on the face of the paddle.

My wife is 5'6(130lb) and it works great. Im 6'1 (190lb) and its great for me too. Its a little heavy/awkward for a smaller lady to carry but can be done. At 5'3 she might be able to go with a shorter/smaller board too. They are great boards though.

I am 5'3" and it works fine for me. You should be able to adjust it to fit your height. You will probably be pleased with how light it is.

Should work fine for you as the hanging straps are plenty long enough for the paddle board.

I am not sure. I am 5' 3" and it is comfortable for me. I think someone shorter would be ok.

Actually it depends on many factors. Your height, boat width, paddling style, and type paddling. Use the Werner fit guide. Here is the link. http://www.wernerpaddles.com/fit-guide/Copy and paste this in your browsers search window.I advise getting the length paddle you fit when the paddle is not extended. This one is 210 cm unextended. The longer Seawhisper is 230 cm unextended. My reason for this is that it will be stronger and cosmetically more pleasing.

I am 5' 3" and I was able to use this walker and there were even lower adjustments available. Good luck to your Mom!

Perhaps best to contact the vendor regarding sizing. I went with the longer paddle for more clearance for a taller person. Personal opinion is if more than one person is using the kayak the longer version serves more people including older children. Hope this helps...

Generally the taller you are the longer the paddle you need. Here is a guide I found on REI's site : http://www.rei.com/mt/www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/canoe-paddle.html

These are standard length women's clubs. My wife is 5'2" and these clubs fit her fine. I think they will be fine for you at 5'.

If you mean stand up paddle, no, it is too small at 6 feet. A small child <45 lbs might be able to SUP on it.

Agreed - would suggest at least 9 ft for paddleboarding. This is a great board for the surf
