How to Order Adjustable Kayak Paddle Length
Paddle length for adjustable paddles is entered as a range. The range is the minimum plus 5 cm or 10 cm
Braca paddles are assembled to order using your custom paddle length. The shaft you select will have an adjustable range of 5 cm (stiffer shafts) or 10 cm (more flexible shafts). To assemble your paddle we need the shortest and longest length in cm. For example, a Braca IV with an 06K shaft might be 210 – 215 cm. A Braca XI with a 19K shaft might be 210 – 220 cm.
Shafts are cut from both ends to maintain balance.
We take your shaft length minimum and cut the shaft equally from each end.
