I'm new but can already tell that the paddle I got when I bought my used Cobra FnD is too small. It's 79" or 200cm. The width of my yak is about 36" wide and my paddle just isn't cutting it. I have no idea how to select the right paddle. Does anyone have any input for a newb?

Thanks,

Randy

Randy, 200cm is tiny on that boat. On a FnD your more likely to be a 230 or more likely 240cm

The rest of it is all about your paddle stroke angle, material/budget, and then the straight vs bent shaft.

Id recommend either coming down to Mission Bay or up to Sunset Beach and talking to one of us about paddles. We can show you the differences in the paddles we stock and you can even demo some of them.

Yea, I could tell right off the bat that my paddle was too short. I could get down to Sunset this weekend. Where is your shop located?

Thanks,

Randy

NVM, I found it 16910 PCH in Sunset. I'll swing over this Saturday afternoon.
