With the oncoming giftomania I want to make a canoe paddle for my son's GF. She is 5'3"......usually uses those short racing paddles. I want to make her a comfortable, longer touring paddle that looks nice and feels good in the hand. My question refers to length. I have always looked for paddles (for my own use) that were about nose high. Your expert opinions and ideas will be most appreciated.
