Is 5mm too thick for a kayak paddle?

Depending on the water and air temps and the possibility of swimming, a 3.2 should be plenty in winter...Summer I move to a 1.8 or rash guard...

I used it for surfing Santa Cruz waters and San Francisco's. I believe a 3mm should do very well. This glove is so hard to take off and put on. it's definitely meant for heavy duty but not if you won't soak it up with water, otherwise it'll be super heated, andbit becomes heavy especially when I have to paddle for waves.

I don't have them with me, but these are much longer than rivets you can find at Home Depot or Lowes. Both my brother and I have used them on plastic sit-on-top kayaks without any problems. There a many videos on u-tube showing how to use them.

It's hard to answer this fairly, because to me most kayboards are don't require a grave deal of pressure. Should I have something to compare it to side by side I would be able to give a more accurate answer. However, all this being said... it types very well and the keys compress very easily.

Hey Luis:I am 6-0, 235 so I hear you. Short answer is it will be kind of tight, but you could probably make it work. I leave the seat out bc it takes room and isn't necessary and also zip up the cockpit cover AFTER I'm in the boat and it seems to work out OK. I"ve taken it out for 2-3 hours and been fine. I honestly don't know what other kayak I'd recommend. One reason I got this was at 10 feet long, it was among the longest inflatables I found.

I'd use a 4/0 or 5/0 ...but, you'd need to use a bullet weight/slip sinker, unless you're going to try to go weightless....and, I would peg the sinker...a 4.5" tube is a BIG tube!

I used these on several accessories on my kayak. Only items with a thin base held. I used stainless steel bolts to attach my rod holder. If you can reach thru the hatch, that will be a better solution.

The bigger the paddle the more resistance....it dosen't really have much to do with height/weight. The best option is to check the company website and buy the size that best fits your description.

Not sure about the exact thickness but it is surely thicker than .3mm, I use gyukucho 372 and I have to saw it from the middle of the tail to both sides.

Haven't tried anything that thick. I think I would purchase a Bolt cutter. Sure to do the trick.

No its probably way too thin for that. I just use it for kayaking in California during the fall and winter months its perfect for me but you likely need a 5/4 at least. Hope this helps out some

The web site says .5mm, and that is what I ordered. I think you should start with that size.

I would say that the .005 would be the minimum thickness if it were secured well on all sides, it still might have a wavy look. The .020 thickness would be the best choice for that application in my opinion.

Hello. If you purchased the same mani-pedi set I purchased, you will find the shanks too thick for your set.

I don't know. I wouldn't go less that 5 inches in length. Just because I don't want to get my fingers that close to the cutting head. JP

these would be too thick for me to work with an SLR, but not impossible. I would look for a 2mm glove and balance the warmth/mobility advantage. For point and shoot cameras, these would work well. I use them on the water with a small camera.

So long as it isn't on a "sweet spot" which is around the middle it will be fine, the indentation may also leave as time passes. This is a fantastic paddle for the price. Of course if it hinders you, do what you must.

Yes. The longer and wider and thicker the better for a beginner due to the stability it brings. Its perfect for flat waters. Hope it helped. Rgds
