SUP Paddles. What Length do I need?

As a general rule, add 8 inches to your overall height.

The chart below is based on 8 inches. Depending on technique, board, water conditions, and the type of paddling you intend to do, you might prefer a slightly different measurement. 

For surf, 6-8". For flat water, 8-10". For racing 10-12".
