KUP allows you to ride a shorter board - one you would like to surf.
The paddle I use is a Makani 8.0 Vario (adjustable shaft) RDS paddle
http://www.naishsurfing.com/2012/paddles/makani.htmlFully adjusted down it is a perfect length to paddle kneeling up (or should that be down).
Short period and choppy surf is no longer a problem and the power I get paddling is much better than anything I can do standing up.
