Bought a JP Australia 10'8" Fusion today.

Already had a paddle, even though it was after a 2 1/2 hr drive home.

Got a Naish Mahani, 108 sq inch paddle, but it doesn't seem to have much propulsion. Are there bigger/better paddles?
I really noticed it when I turned around to paddle against the nor'easter that sprang up.

Might it have something to do with the surf focus of the board, or the 34" width?

Whatever, I'm in the water!
