what is the difference in length of paddle

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

Ok, the ones I purchased were the 54" paddles, they are actually 55 1/2 inches in total length when assembled, that is from the tip of the paddle to the top of the T handle, 54 inches if you measure from the bottom of the T handle. The 48's are probably a shorter version that is also for sale.

It comes with a paddle. Not sure what machine it fits but I know it isn't 5891.

I think either one would be ok.. The longer one will be easier in the beginning but with some time on the water, you may want the 10 footer..I am a beginner and I got the 10 footer..

If this is the paddle I purchased it should fit. I purchased this for my daughter and she has not said it did not fit.

I think its about 14 feet, which is the size of my kayak, it depends on how you balance it, the boat centers over the axle so you have some play there. You have to make sure there is enough weight on the nose to keep it from swaying. Since I bought my Paddle Boy I haven't used my car to get to the water and I have a 10 mile round trip.

It's about 8 feet long. Both the 10 and 5 year old have no problem steering it, however, neither of them can pick it up and carry it by themselves to the water. Both of them absolutely love it and we are considering getting another paddle board (one that will hold more weight as they grow) for the older one and letting the younger one have this one.

I believe the 2.5 ft paddle might be too short for a 13ft canoe. Suggest you use the 4ft or 5ft, depending on your body size. I have the larger paddle, and think you would not be able to control the canoe with the shorter paddle. The longer paddles are adequate for a 13ft canoe.

I don't know about other DHS paddles but this is a fairly heavy paddle. It took me about 3 or 4 weeks to really adjust but once I did I fell in love with the weight. If you are impatient you may be happier with a lighter paddle but if you're willing to take the time to get used to the extra weight I think you'll be happy.

I'm sorry Pamela, I'm not much help. I gave this as a gift, so I do not have the product to check now. However, I know that it's being used and they are please with the paddle.

Check the paddle. I purchased paddles that are 2 inch holes, but some have 1 3/4 inch holes. Just look up the dimensions. This is why I'm buying these as well. For my homebrewer hubby.

The paddles aren't hard at all. It operates like a normal scuf. Really no difference in it at all.

I would put the numbers close to 8 to 9 for both. I can' find the ratings online anywhere but I would just keep checking back here just incase someone else does. :) I do know that the paddle is a 6 star paddle if that gives you any help.

I have 10' Aruba. I am 5'9", and 96" paddle fits perfectly for me as I am just a recreational user.If you plan sporting white waters, you may want a shorter one.

The one difference I can see is the rubbers. The second is how they rate the paddle and the style of play it is built for. I have an A6002, that is "my" paddle that the kids, friends and neighbors don't get to use. I bought two A4002's for house paddles. I love my A6002, though, it is on the heavier side. I will play my brother with the other A4002 to eliminate equipment as a factor in the outcome. They have a lighter feel and take a bit more swing, especially on a long forehand. Regardless, they play well.

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.
