G'day,
After some advice on paddle length for Surfing just bought a new Tiki Paddle.
How much difference in length should there be between a paddle for surfing over a flat water paddle.
I've got several paddles so I'm only using the Tiki for surfing.

I don't think there is a wrong or right answer as just about everyone has differing ideas. I use 7" overhead for racing and 3" for surfing. Used to use 9" for racing but caused some old shoulder issues to flare up, dropped 2", no more shoulder issues. Tried surfing with a paddle the same height as me but while great on a wave was difficult when on a small/tippy board out back so have gone for a compromise 3" overhead which seems fine.
