Foil SUP / Re: Paddle out sup foil.

If the E3 is like most sub 6' boards it will turn on a dime when you paddle hard for a wave. So practise your J stroke.
I personally get my paddle speed initially by paddling parallel to the wave and when I start to go up the face I allow myself to turn down the face. Takes one or two strokes. If the board goes past straight down the face Im toast. Balance and paddle power go out the window.

Ive got a starboard Lima which I really like. had a adjustable carbon Riviera that felt like a broom stick before so I guess anything is better.
The only thing about blade size imho is that you want your stroke timing to match you pump timing when paddling into a wave. Maybe most can make them match but I had to sand down my blade size down 3 times before I got it to where they felt natually in time. Took alot of material out. When I got it right it felt way better!
I personally think faster short strokes gives me more board speed into the wave. I know when I get it right I get in much easier.
Be interesting to hear others paddle technique into waves, its not often discussed.
