*Updated- The New Paiwen Paddles do not need to be cut to size. Look Here

How do I cut my paddle to fit me perfectly?

Follow the below step or watch the video here:
Before you start

1. Check Tools - Check the tool list to verify you have everything you need.
2. Remove Handle - 
Remove the handle and seal using a gentle twisting and pulling motion


Required Tools: 
A. Measuring Tape 
B. Hacksaw 
C. Masking Tape 
D. Pen or Pencil
E. 80 Grit Sandpaper 

F. 5 Minute Epoxy

Step 1: Determining Length The length of your paddle should be approximately 7” (17.78 cm) taller than your height. For example, if you are 72” (182.88 cm) your paddle should be 79” (200.66 cm).


Step 2: Measuring and Cutting Once determining the proper length, begin your measurement from the blade moving toward the handle (figure2).
At the end measurement, wrap the shaft with masking tape and mark the cut line with a pen or pencil. The masking tape will help prevent chipping while cutting.
Remember: Measure twice, cut once!
Cut the desired length using a hacksaw.


Step 3: Sanding & Setting Sand the handle stem, edges and inside of the shaft using 80 grit sand paper. Sanding these surfaces will allow for good epoxy adhesion.
Replace the handle seal.
Some riders temporarily affix their handle with electrical tape and test the paddle in action before permanently attaching to shaft.
Mix the epoxy and apply liberally to the inside of the shaft and handle stem. Insert handle stem firmly into shaft and align handle with blade:
