Regular
kayak paddles are 7'-8' (210 cm - 240 cm) in length, and they do not
offer optimal performance for an adult paddling a W Kayak.
We
found that a 9' (274 cm) long paddle offers most people good
performance in all paddling positions.
Paddlers over 6'2" (190
cm)
may need a slightly longer paddle, especially for stand up
paddling.
Our paddles offer optimal performance for the paddling styles you can
use in a W kayak, especially for longer and more powerful paddle
strokes.
They are very rigid, which is important when speed is considered for
extra long paddles.
They also provide the strength and reliability needed for for
poling in shallow water, and for pushing when launching and beaching
the W kayak, as well as when you go over obstacles.

"Feathered
or non
feathered?"
-If
you're a kayaker you'd probably prefer your W kayak paddle
feathered, and if you're a canoeist you're likely to use a single blade
paddle anyhow...
