6'6 SUP

Click Here for Gong Sups article on how to paddle a 6'6 SUP. My 7'8 Hokua is long to these guys. The 7'8 paddles pretty normal. The only cool tip I picked up in the article is to try a correction stroke on the other side without switching hands with the paddle. That sounds like it could be handy now and then.

I'm glad I don't have to do this

I used that stroke before. It works ok in flat water but not sure about the ocean when stability is more difficult

Wow, that 6'6 looks like a lot of work! I'll leave that one for the "pros". Crazy how he paddle strokes around the nose of board.

I ride boards this small mostly when its glassy. I found instead of paddling like the picture shows, all you have to do is lean on the rail your paddling on get a little tilt on the board giving that paddle side rail a little bite and it will paddle straight as a arrow. Tiny boards are realy fun and challenging.
