I'm looking to use this paddle for adventure racing and workouts. I'm 6'4" and have long arms. will the 240cm work for me, or should I go for a different size?

The 240 should be the right size for you, depending on your boat. As a fellow adventure racer, I use the Werner Corryvrecken. It's more expensive, but you get a lighter paddle (which is nice in long races) and you get more feathering options to help with changing wind conditions, and to be able to use slightly different muscles. Also, if you have to carry your paddle in your races, consider a 3 piece paddle.

RTA, Based on your height, the 240cm paddle will probably be the right size for you unless you have a very skinny boat or if you "dig" more (the paddle enters the water more vertically) with your stroke. Here is aqua-bound's recommended sizing chart: http://aquabound.com/ab-paddles/paddle-sizing/
