This paddle comes in sziwes 210-220 and 230-240, so what size paddle is best for users 5'6''-5'9''?

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...

This is a great paddle. I've only ever used one other type and it was awful! I bought this one to be sure I had one I liked.

Not sure if I I have seen that. You may want to check the official website for specs. I am 6' 215 and I am good I have a friend that is 6'2" probably 225-230 and he is the one who sold me on it.

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 have the Kitchenaid Professional 600 and the paddle fits perfectly. Oh, and I love it!!

The widest section is 10 1/4". Length of just the face is 10 1/2". The thickness of the paddle is 1 1/4". I prefer the Optima Flex. The dimensions are less bulking and awkward. Either one are great paddles. Much better then the cheep souvenir shops. When you are playing on the beach you pick up a lot of wind. The optima paddles, with the drilled holes make a huge difference. Great design! Hope this helps.

Go by the charts on the NeoSport website. Sizes seem fairly accurate to me. I only use for kayaking, though.

They recommend the 28" for anyone under 6' tall. However, I'm 5'9" and much prefer the 36". At 5'2" I would guess you might prefer the 28". None of us are under 5'9" so I have no personal experience from which to tell you.

Hi. I don't know what model number they were, but they were the Yakgrips that were completely seamed together (without velcro) and not able to be adjusted. Though I have both, I do like these better, as they situate themselves much better without requiring constant readjustments. In doing this, you lose the ability to put them on paddles that do not break down into 2 or more pieces, as their ability to stretch open is the only way you can put them on the paddles. With one of my paddles, I had to have the velcro model in order to be able to put them on in the first place. Some of the new infinite adjustment paddles offer similar problems, as their design places the adjuster/lock at the end of one of the pieces, with their diameter being quite a bit larger than the shaft itself, so there is extra work and effort required to work the grips over the enlarged attachments. I like both a lot, and the comfort factor is a great improvement to long distance/time paddling. The only issue I see is that if you have issues with inconsistent patterns in the way things feel, this might be a problem as the seams stretch the length of the grips and are very noticeable in the feel of your hands. I always need to make sure the seams are in the right position to offer the least obvious inconsistency/bump in the pad. This is true with both the fixed seam models, as well as, the velcro ones, though the velcro ones are even more pronounced.

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.

I'm 5'11" and I got the 40 foot inch and a half, it works great for me, 50 feet would be even better, but I wouldn't go less than the 40 if it were me, just seems too short, unless all your gonna do is alternating speed waves.

Rule of thumb for measuring SUP paddles is to stand with your arm raised as if you are making a pledge or oath. There should be a straight line from shoulder to shoulder right out to your elbow. With your fore arm raised, you should fit the palm grip of the paddle right in your raised palm. At 5'4" I use a 74-76" paddle. For someone 5'10", I would recommend an 80" paddle. We can cut paddles to specific length or we can ship un-cup and provide directions to cut. Specify length when ordering under notes or just send us a contact submission. I hope this helps.

for a 8 & 10 year old kid, I would purchase the smaller size (SM)... the XL are OK for a trained older young adult as the shoulders may feel the pressure... Otherwise I am very happy with these paddles! (I am 6'1" 76lbs)...

I am 5'1" and it feels pretty light to me. Not sure of exact weight. I love this paddle!

The paddles measure 17.5" X 6". A rotating disk in the center allows you to adjust the amount of resistance.

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