: 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").

Mine actually comes out to 96" if is use the "armspan + a cubit" method, but I decided that 90" was plenty (armspan + elbow-wrist distance). I will eventually try some shorter paddles.
