just curious.. My carbon surfing paddle used to be too big for my body size and then a deal came up for a starboard bolt in tiki-tech.
The way smaller head size gave me a new lease of life on sup-surfing and that's all i've used for the past 8 months.
Does flex a bit, but easy to get speed from a standstill without too much force turning the board and tracks well.
Wondering whether I would get any added performance in actual sup-surfing if I went to a similar size paddle but a 'sup-surf' style head?
I tried my old one a while back and it ruined my surf, was horrible
Good question.
Be interesting to see the size blades the sup surfers use and there weight. I'm 95kg and thinking about trying a small blade. Possibly the fanatic carbon 80 6.75 inch
This thread from a while back is interesting, particularly Deano's comments if you scroll down a bit.

Not sure if this is still the current thinking, but it seems to make sense to me (and my old shoulders).
