A little help to choose my next paddle
Hi all,
I already have the carbon surf and carbon curl, but now I want to try a carbon pro but... which measure? 7 or 8? maybe the 7' is to little? Lately I surf always with the Curl and I find it super.
I'm 1'72 cm for 68 kilos.
Usually surf with my Faking 6'11 and with my curve 7'6.
Thanks!!

Re: A little help to choose my next paddle
68 kg, I would advise the 7"
The 8" is very nice for my 100kg.

Re: A little help to choose my next paddle
but 7'' isn't too small? 7'' is better for shortsup or long?

Re: A little help to choose my next paddle
No, the blade shape is very efficient, no need for more for your weight

Hello,
yes, your height maximum, a little bit shorter than a 8'' or a 9'' is nice.

Re: A little help to choose my next paddle
I'd say same height, if you are not yet used to short paddles.
But you can get lower. My 7" is cut at -4cm.
For my 100kg, 7" or 8" are about the same paddling efficiency. I may take off in 2 strokes with the 8" and 3 with the 7", but on the wave the 7" is definitively faster to move around, so your turns will be faster and more agile.
So, if for my 100kg, 7" and 8" are both OK with me, for your weight, the 7" will definitely be the better choice.
