High performance and reliability are ZJ's goal for ZJ canoe paddles.

As for the flatwater canoe paddle, it is made of full carbon fiber, which reduces the weight and boosts the performance. Flatwater canoe paddle with slender rectangular blade can make you keep a higher rhythm when paddling. The wider blade (21.5cm) is designed with spline on the blade back, which increases the stability and strength. The blade edge is designed in thin thickness and reinforced with carbon fiber filament. You will feel it like a knife feel in the water.

As for the paddle length, you could choose a fixed-length paddle directly, or an adjustable paddle with a hard anodizing anti-corrosion aluminum alloy clamp that could be used by more people in different height.

We promise that ZJ will bring confidence and joy to all paddlers with ZJ paddles!

*Length

On the water: Sit inside the canoe and measure the vertical distance from your nose to the waterline. This measurement should match the distance from a paddle's grip to the throat, where the paddle shaft meets the blade. 

In store, trying out a paddle: Kneel down with your bottom about 6" off the floor, as if sitting in a canoe. Hold the paddle upside down, with the grip on the floor. The throat of the paddle should be between your chin and your nose. 

At home, without a paddle: Kneel down with your bottom about 6" off the floor, as if sitting in a canoe. Measure from the floor to your nose. 

To fine-tune the fit:

For wider canoes or paddling from the stern (rear seat), consider adding 2" to the paddle length so you can reach the water without excessive leaning.

Buying for a child? Kid-specific paddles offer shorter lengths, narrower shafts and T-grips so little hands can control them more easily. 

*Weight

For flatwater canoeing, a flexible paddle helps absorb shock with every stroke. Whitewater enthusiasts prefer a strong, stiff paddle.

* Blade Shape

Blade shape is complex, but it can be simplified by where you paddle:

Long and skinny blades (traditional beavertail) are good for cruising on lakes.

Shorter and wider blades are best for rivers and shallow water.

Not sure what size to get? Paddle blades measuring 8" x 20" are most common and are a suitable choice for most canoeists. 

*Shaft

Straight: This traditional style handles all-around paddling. It excels on rivers because it allows a variety of maneuvering and bracing strokes. Whitewater canoeists almost always prefer these.
