What Size Should I Choose for My Paddle?

We know picking the right size edge guard can feel a little tricky, so here’s a simple guide to help you.

Medium (0.875): A great fit for paddles that are 12-14 mm thick.
Large (0.950): Perfect for 16 mm paddles

If you’re not quite sure which size to choose or if your paddle is in between sizes, no problem at all! Just drop us a note with your paddle’s exact thickness, and we’ll help you pick the perfect fit.

Because paddle manufacturers use different standards for reporting core and edge-guard thickness, sizing can vary slightly between brands. We’re consistently updating and refining our guide as we collect more real-world measurements to give you the most accurate recommendations possible.

Can I apply lead or tungsten tape on top of the edge guards?

Yes, you definitely can. In fact, we recommend placing your lead or tungsten tape directly on the paddle first to get your preferred weight and balance. Once you’re happy with the feel, just apply our edge guard right over the tape.

Our edge guards adhere really well on top of the lead or tungsten tape, so everything stays secure and you get a smooth finish. It’s a simple way to customize your paddle’s weight without any hassle.

Paddle Surface & Adhesion Note

Every paddle is built a little differently. Surface texture, edge shape, factory coatings, and prior tape residue can all affect how an edge guard adheres from paddle to paddle.

Our edge guards have been tested to fit and install well on most paddles without issue, but some paddles may require extra care during installation, and occasional adhesion challenges can happen depending on the paddle’s surface or condition.

For best results, clean the edge thoroughly before installing and apply firm, even pressure around the entire edge.
