Q

How do you choose paddle
Wider and taller kayaks need longer paddles
If a person is small build, then a shorter, lighter paddle is the best so as not overexert oneself.
Another way of measuring canoe is while in standing.
Wider blades give you more acceleration but must also deal with more resistance
Narrower blades use less effort per stroke but required more strokes
Curved blades increase power each stroke
