Paddle selection

First and foremost, paddlers must consider what kind of paddle row they are going to do. Narrow the selection range by determining whether it is surfing, racing, cruising or both. Generally speaking, shorter boards are more suitable for surfing and control, while longer and more streamlined boards are more effective and faster for long-distance sailing. For cruising, the paddle between the two should be considered. Whether the paddle is inclined to the long paddle or the short paddle depends on how you want to use it.
