A whitewater paddle needs to be strong, durable and performance oriented.
*Blade Size
Most smaller stature paddlers will select midsize or smaller blade shapes, depending on fitness level and application as to not become worn out or injured. Larger Stature paddlers may want a midsize or full blade. Larger blades work more but provide more power and stability, are often used by creek boaters. Most river runners select to midsize blades to maximize efficiency.
*Materials
Aluminum: Heavy, Hard on your hands, flexible, Lower Price Point
Fiberglass: Low Swing Weight, Rigid, Moderate/High Price Point
Carbon Fiber: Lowest Swing Weight, Most Rigid, High Price Point
*Paddle Length
When selecting the proper length for your paddle you need to take many things into consideration:
（a.) Paddler Height（b.) Boat Width（c.) Paddling Style
ZJ Whitewater Paddle Sizing Chart
Paddler Height
Paddle Length
4’8”-5’2” (142-157 cm)
191 cm
5’2”-5’8” (157-173 cm)
194 cm
5’8”-6’ (173-183 cm)
197 cm
6’-6’3” (183-191 cm)
200 cm
6’3” and Taller
203 cm
##Paddling style as it applies to length in whitewater is more about the cadence your prefer to paddle. In the more dynamic environments like the river or the surf some folks prefer to use a shorter paddle that will be better suited for a higher stroke rate, thus keeping the blades in the water for more time giving you even more control.
* Straight Shaft vs Bent Shaft
This decision is based entirely in the realm of ergonomics and good technique. In our opinion there is no performance advantage gained when using a bent shaft paddle. The Bent shaft acts to help you keep your wrist inline throughout the various strokes. For paddlers who spend a lot of time in their boat this is definitely a worthwhile investment to protect the wrists.
