How to size for AT Touring paddles 

 

All AT Touring paddles are molded with the shaft and blade as one unit.   This makes the AT have a very light swing weight and uniform flex.  This also means you must give some extra attention to sizing your paddle to make sure you get full benefit from the ergonomic advantage.  Below are some sizing guidelines to help.   Usually you will stay with the same legnth you currently use in a straight shaft paddle. Generally shorter people (smaller frames) will need smaller paddles.  If your grip tends to be narrower or wider adjust the sizing accordingly.  We reccomend that you do not go more than 4 cm from the suggested sizing range.
 

<5'3  5'6" 5'9"  6'0"  6'3"  6'6">
<222cm 222-226cm  224-228cm 226-230cm 228-232cm 232cm>

As a point of reference a 235cm paddle will have 27 centimeters (10.8inches) of width between the index fingers.


 
These are only guidelines.  These are for average beam craft and general body frame sizes.  Adjust as necessary for wider or narrower craft and paddle length preference.
