That all depends on your height, the width of your kayak and whether the seat is raised or recessed.

I'd recommending reading through a variety of tips from the many sources available on the internet. A lot of factors go into "correct" length, including your body configuration, the width of your kayak, the type of paddling you do, and on and on. For instance, I prefer a short paddle (220 cm) with big blades for moving water, but need to use a longer (230 cm) paddle for flat water. If I went to a 240 cm paddle for flat water, tracking would be a problem.This is indeed a non-answer-sorry about that-so I'll just say that my flat-water preference would be to error on the long side, and for moving water, error on the short side.And by the way, my Magic Plus is great.

I am 5'11" and I bought the 220cm paddle. I have a sit on top Necky kayak and it works great for me, not too long or short. Hope this helps.

I am 5'5" tall. I purchased a 220 cm paddle. Paddle performs well for me. If I were to buy another paddle, I would purchase a 230 cm.

You determine the length. Stand with the paddle upright. the paddle should reach the bottom of your hand when your arm is extended straight up. I am 6 feet tall, and my paddle is 7'4". Most paddles are adjustable within a few inches, but too long is better than too short. And, this is one of the best paddles available. Good choice.

No idea. Not that I could tell the difference but the paddle seems of very high quality. For $30 I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Don't know for sure. You should have received an extra set of paddles with your initial purchase. If not, I would try Allied Precision website.

I'm 5'8" and use a sit on top kayak. These are wider than a sit inside and the extra length really helps. Height and the kind of boat both will factor in. In my inflatable I wish I had a even longer paddle.

Measure the length and width of the opening and select the size that fits on the order page. That's what I did for my Future Beach kayak.

Well it depends, they have ones for pools and they are cheaper, these are really designed for boats. But I would probably recommend the 20 in.

If you Google it you can find them after a bit of searching. If you're not a small guy, go for the largest size. We ordered that for our thin 15 year old son who is 5' 10" and would not have wanted it smaller. We returned the smaller size I ordered orginally, when I also recommended they add the dimensions to the website. Otherwise he loved it on his 9 day long high adventure Scout canoeing trip

Yes. I bought it for my son who is a beginner. Plays now as much as you. Big difference from the standard paddles that cam with the table. We think it will suit him for a while.

You will not have no problem with paddles. Boat is so light and glides on water with no problem. But watch out for wind hope this helps great little boat

The best thing to do is to go to the ergon website they have a have info reguarding what size grips you should buy according to hand measurements. Hope this helps.

The bigger the paddle the more resistance....it dosen't really have much to do with height/weight. The best option is to check the company website and buy the size that best fits your description.

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.

For your height, you would probably be good with a 220cm to 230cm depending on the width of your kayak.
