: Unless you're extremely tall and strong, you're not likely to need a 96"
: paddle. It seems that most people use paddles in the 82"-90"
: range, with 84"-86" being most common.

I am 6'-3" but would not consider myself "Extremely Strong"
If i use the method for calculating the length it comes out to be 7'8" (92").
