While it may appear that the paddle moves more than any other part of one's body or equipment, slow motion photography of elite paddlers reveal the blade exits the stroke in the same spot it entered or slightly ahead of it's entry! Visualize yourself reaching forward and thrusting your board past your paddle blade cast in concrete! © Follow @paddleclass for more tips, techniques along with dates & locations for a #paddleclass at a Shop, Race, or Club near you. #makeeverystrokecount #tips #paddle #sup #outrigger #thomasmaximus #photocredit @taylorrambo_ @rivierapaddlesurf @hinano_tahiti @hammernutrition @officialmauijim @seadek @supremepaddlegear @futuressup
