PALA LENGTH AND BLADE OPTIONS
Length: 44″ – 54″
Blade size: 9″-10″
Choosing blade width comes down to resistance. How much resistance do you want on your blade?
The basic rule is to not pull your paddle back but instead pull the canoe forward. It really comes down to your strength and experience level. You’ll want to have enough blade to be able to hold the pressure without slipping while having enough strength to maintain a desired pace.
To keep it simple, the 9.25 is usually used for OC1 and the 9.75 is usually used for OC6 and the 9.5 is safe to use for both.

PALA STEER
Length: 46″-54″
Style: Double Bend or Straight
Shaft, Bend, and Size
Straight Shaft This is the traditional steering blade set at 5 degrees. This degree allows for instant control of the canoe when “J-stroking”. It also allows you to have easy control of the blade when screaming down a wave or locking down a turn in regattas.
Double Bend The blade on the double bend is set at 7 degrees. This allows the steersman to blend in better with their crew when paddling. The double bend also allows you to relax your bottom wrist and pull at a stronger angle. If you are used to paddling with a double bend then steering with one will make you feel like more of a paddler. This blade is good for bottom grabbers and one handed pokers since it is easier to keep the blade flush to the hull by letting go of the T top.
Sizing
When ordering your steering blade don’t forget to take into consideration that the blade is 22” long. You will want to make sure that you have the shaft length that you need to maintain the arm span that you are used to.
