Is your Vista pregnant or something?

In Response To: Paddle: Length (Patsy)

The Vista is only suposed to be 24" wide.

As for your paddle length question, I'd suggest making your first one around 84" as it's a good all-around size. You can always make others in different lengths as experiments. Believe me, once you make one, you'll want to do more.

Paddle should be long enough to reach the water
