Werner Paddle Board Paddles

Choose a paddle length

Many paddles are adjustable in length so you can fine-tune the fit or swap between paddlers.

• If buying online: Add about 8-12 inches to your height and look for a paddle within that range
• If buying in person: Hold the paddle with the blade touching the ground and reach one arm straight above your head; the T-grip handle should land at the bend of your wrist

Choose the blade surface area

Use your body size and how you paddle as a starting point when considering the blade surface (measured in square inches).

• Small/medium (less than 150 lbs.): 80-90 sq. in.
• Medium/large (150-200 lbs.): 90-100 sq. in.
• Large/extra-large (200+ lbs.): over 100 sq. in.

Shaft material

• Carbon fiber: Lightest, stiffest and most expensive option; provides excellent power transfer
• Fiberglass: Lightweight, stiff and efficient at power transfer; more affordable than carbon
