Looking to get an adjustable paddle for my 10 year old) boy as he is due some growing (hopefully upwards rather than outwards) soon and want a paddle that can grow with him.

Has anybody got and suggestions and how small do the adjustable paddles get.

Also how do you size a paddle for shorter people as the 6 - 8 inches above the head I think will be too long.

You have a few adjustable paddles to choose from... I think Starboard have one.. also C4, Werner and Kialoa have a cheap adjustable paddle coming soon.

I think the best way to check for correct length is to flip the paddle upside down and with the handle on the ground the point where the blade meets the shaft should be about eye level....IMO...

RPS here in Melbourne have a cool looking green colored adjustable paddle.. www.rpstheboardstore.com/

I'll take some pics and get a price for you... I think the C4 Stendy looks like the best (if you can get used to the door handle)..
