I've been having a ball surfing my 9'3 in the small clean conditions when its too small to take out my shorty. But I'm now considering leaving the shorty behind and take out the SUP in more sizeable over head conditions.

My question is what's your strategy when wiping out??

Hold on to the paddle at all cost? Garret @ Cloudbreak from a recent posting comes to mind

Do people break alot of paddles like that? If so is one extra enough on a ten day surf trip to Indo

I'm sure I'll figure it out myself but just had me interested if others out their have got some tips
