If you have never purchased an outrigge canoe paddle before, read below for a widely-used, basic sizing guide.  Remember that this is just a guide to help give you a place to start.  Nothing beats time on the water on your canoe with a paddle to determine your best fit.  However, if you want to get more scientific about sizing, you can visit the Quick Blade website at http://www.quickbladepaddles.com/outrigger_sizecharts.htm.

Sizing Help:

Step 1.   Grab a willing partner and a tape measure.

Step 2.  Sit on a hard flat surface such as a bench with you feet forward planted on the floor in front of you.

Step 3.  Raise your right or left arm straight up above your shoulder as if you were raising your hand in class to ask a question.

Step 4.  Have your partner measure the distance from your seat to the top of your palm where your knuckles first start.

Step 5.  This is the desired length for an OC 1 or OC 2 paddle as these canoes ride much closer to the water than an OC 6.  If you are going to be paddling in an OC6, you can add 1 to 2 inches to your paddle length.
