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 out:

• Small (0.800): Ideal if your paddle thickness is around 12 mm.  This is a perfect fit for the Selkirk Boomstik
• 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.
