How to perfect your paddle technique

Perfecting your paddle technique and maximising propulsion through the water is essential for your surf progression.

To create forward momentum pull the water back with long strokes, keeping the forearm vertical, the elbow high with fingertips and forearm pointing downwards with the arm deep into the water.

As your fingertips enter the water try to make as little splash as possible, and keep your elbows high.

Keep your head and chest up, your body and head still and feet together as you paddle.
