Task · part of 4. The paddle: its parts, and sizing it to a paddler
4(b). Size a paddle for sitting and for kneeling
Required Often forgotten
Both positions. They do not take the same paddle length, which is the point of asking for both.
Notes and warnings
Note. Sitting and kneeling, both. A paddle sized for one is not sized for the other, which is the reason the requirement asks for two demonstrations rather than one.
