Any recommendations of brands

I'm surfing a hypernut and a Sunova Speed, I currently have an adjustable fanatic paddle. But think I could do better. I'm a little guy, at 165cm, 5ft 5 I think that is.
I want something strong and light.

Cheers

Definitely put a Ke Nalu X-Tuf Wiki 74 high on the wish list.

I'm a similar height/weight and it suits my frame perfectly.

It's light, super strong, won't load up the arms or shoulder during a long session.

I'll second the vote for the Ke Nalu x-tuf with wiki blade

tough, light and has good grip.... a great surf paddle

Ke Nalu Wiki or Ho'oloa with xtuff shaft. Great catch blades and lovely flex in the shaft.
Very light plus nice and grippy too.
Also great company to deal with!

Thank you will have a look at
cheers

check out kenalu's mana blade--keep my hooloa as a back up now--mana's the best surf blade i eva tried

x-tuf (not the stiff) shaft with ergo-T

Anyone tried out the Sunova Balsa paddles? They definitely look the part and am guessing they would live up to the 'bombproof' Sunova standards? Reasonable price too. I am in the same spot as you Greg only got a variable paddle am looking to step up to a fixed. Tossing up between the KeNalu or Sunova
