This paddle blade is not like the usual "flat-styled" canoe paddles with long handles.

The C4 Waterman was specially designed for paddle surfing with

a new keel-shaped blade neck on the powerface of the blade.

This helps to steer the paddle straight for less paddle wander when taking hard strokes for the waves.

This will also help steer the paddle and help minimize rail banging.

Also, the wide point of the blade is down deep for a more positive bite in the water,

and the front of the blade features a "flowing curved face", allowing you to easily skim

the blade across the water when "pulling Gs" on those hard bottom turns.

This is a departure from the flat-blade canoe paddles that can catch and edge when skimming the paddle across the water.

Overall Length 85in for up to 6ft 6in tall surfer.
Generally, stand up paddles are 6-7in taller than your height.

This paddle ships with the handle not yet glued on so

you can cut the shaft to your ideal length and then epoxy the handle on.

This also allows you to experiment and get the perfect fit before you cut it down,

don't buy a precut paddle, it will not fit you!
