It has a lot to do with weight and technique. I have an Onno one piece paddle that is only a 210 mm. I used it comfortably on a FND at 36 inches wide. With a short paddle use a high stroke and be sure to use your torso as well. A lighter paddle will have a lower swing weight. I'm not sure of my paddles weight but it is the lightest I have ever held.
