That was my dream initially to be able to paddle a small board really fast
You can, but do it in fencing position (shoulder facing forward).
You will be super-efficient in frontside AND backside (something too had with a pure surfing position).
Losing the versatility of switching paddling sides during takeoff to adapt to the wave is too big a drawback for me in fickle beachbreaks.
In his case, with his heavy late drops, I guess he does not want even the small position change at the end of the takeoff between fencing and surfing stance.
The Deep website is still down,or not to focused on surf sup ?..again I hope all is ok with Simon,as I thought he was exceptional at what he did ..re surf .longboard sup,who wouldn't want to see an inform Jackson Close at the next Bali longboard comp.????
