Oconto paddles are crafted in a variety of shapes and sizes. It is important to think about the type of paddling that you are planning on doing when selecting the blade shape. The easiest way to determine the right size for your paddle is to measure the distance from the floor to your chin or nose. If the paddle is longer than this, some people find they become fatigued more easily when they are paddling. If the paddle is shorter than below chin level, your reach will be shorter and not as powerful.

Our standard Oconto paddles are crafted in these lengths: 36, 48, 50, 54, 57, 60, 63 inches. Custom lengths are available. The blade area varies, depending on the length of the paddle.
