So what is the correct greenland paddle length? I’m tall, 6’-2”, do I really need a paddle that is floor to finger tip, 94”? I built my first kayak paddle, a greenland 82” long, after reading Betsie Bay Kayak’s website.

I did not like it. I felt like I was going nowhere with it.

Paddle two was a two-piece euro, 225 cm with 113 square-inch blades and it worked me to death.

Paddle three is a euro, 240cm one-piece 60 degree feather with 100 square-inch narrow (6-inch wide) blades. I like it a lot and I make good time with it. So it works for me.

However it occurs to me that it is not valid to compare a too short greenland stick to an euro of a size I like and say I like euros better. So I’m going to build another stick. What length do you guys recommend?
