How-to-Hold-a-SUP-Paddle-ProperlyThe proper form for paddle surfing requires a paddle of the correct length and size. A common rule of thumb is a “shaka” length, or 5 to 7 inches, above the rider’s height for surfing and about 10in above rider’s head for racing. While standing on board, the rider holds the paddle with one hand on the handle and the other hand approximately 1/3 of the way down the shaft. The hand placement alternates depending on what side the rider is paddling on. When paddling on the right side the handle is held with the left hand and the shaft with the right, vice versa on the left side. When paddling, the blade is placed in the water 2 to 3 feet in front of the rider and pulled out of the water at the riders toes, causing the board to glide. If the paddle blade is pulled out of the water after it passes the rider’s toes, the board is pulled down, causing it to loose efficiency. The paddle blade should angle forward, not backward, a common mistake seen with beginner paddlers. This allows the paddle to be at a positive angle when it exits the water so the board isn’t pulled down but creates an efficient glide. For maximum efficiency, the paddle blade should be inserted without creating bubbles around the blade.
