I've read longer is better, but no one mentions actual length. Some of you guys that have been yakers for a long time please shed some light on this for me! Thankx

It's not the size at all - it's the motion.

I've never seen that paddle selection guide before but after reading it, I'd say it's pretty accurate. I would advise that if you are trying to select and have it narrowed down to 2 different sizes, I would opt for the longer one. Besides propelling the boat, you will use your paddle for other things such as pushing off of obstacles, freeing your bait from snags, etc. Longer is always better for these uses. The last thing to consider is if you ever plan to stand up in the boat. I'm 6-3 and I used a 240cm paddle for years. When I started standing most of the time, I went to a 250cm and have loved it.
