How to change the size of your paddle
The adjustments depend on the kayaker and the vessel:
A short paddle for white water and narrow kayaks (< 60 cm wide).
*Short paddle = between 20 and 30 cm more than your height
A longer paddle for touring and wider kayaks (> 60 cm wide).
*Long paddle = between 30 and 40 cm more than your size
How to adjust the angle of your paddle
The adjustments depend on the kayaker nd the vessel:
Between 0° and 45° for white water, where quick movements and reactivity are necessary.
Between 45° and 90° for touring, where reduced windage is required to reduce the necessary effort.
If in doubt, just following your feeling...
How to paddle
Low hands, horizontal, or low angle:
All of these terms mean the same thing. Your paddle is on the thin side and is long; When touring, you'll be looking for duration rather than strength.
This technique means you can manage your exertion and limit fatigue
High hands, vertical or high angle:
Your paddle is more vertical and short, it's more intended for use in whitewater or competitions.
This more vertical technique is more physical and requires more energy
