About the Paddle | Kona Academy 

Welcome to Kona Academy.
In this video we are talking about the paddle length:
The length of a stand-up paddleboard paddle depends on various factors such as the paddler's height, the type of paddling (racing, surfing, touring), and the width of the paddleboard. However, a general rule of thumb for sizing a SUP paddle is:
- Stand the paddle upright with the blade on the ground.
-Reach one arm overhead and adjust the paddle length so that the handle sits comfortably in your palm.
-The top of the paddle should ideally reach 10 cm about your head.
This method ensures that the paddle is appropriately sized for your height and provides efficient paddle stroke mechanics. Keep in mind that some paddlers prefer a slightly longer or shorter paddle based on personal preference and the type of paddling they do. It's also recommended to try out different lengths to find what feels most comfortable and effective for you.
