Jimmy Terrell from QuickBlade Paddleshas put together a great vid clip that may help you clean up your stroke…
Quickblade is the brainchild of Jim Terrell, a four time Olympic Canoeist (in fact, he has endless National and International awards and titles). His passion for building the finest competition paddles began at the ripe age of 11 in his father’s garage in Milford, Ohio.
To this day, Jim is obsessed with hydrodynamics and has decades of experience with scientifically testing paddle mechanics and strain gage force analysis, and has an extensive background in composite technology applications. In layman’s terms, the more Jim puts into it, the more you’ll get out of it.

What a day…(& evening to remember…;-) Sunshine…warm water…lots of smiles…heaps ‘o fun… Is it any wonder why the sport of standup paddle surfing has exploded here in Santa Barbara (& around the world) these last couple of years??? Click image below for some snapshots from this event…
It’s not everyday that a legendary shaper like Ron House shows up at your local beach just to chill and spread the stoke of standup…heck, Jimmy Messina (Loggins & Messina) came down to the beach to visit with Ron, who is also an accomplished musician…RH shown here stylin’ a new line of colorful standup boards that we are queuing up to be produced in a few months, with graphics by another legend , Drew Brophy…check out his website here…

Muchas gracias to Jimmy Brewer (Blueline Paddlesurf) who is the proverbial Energizer Bunny…bottomless energy, enthusiasm, & stoke…his business card reads “SUP Stokemaster”…also, known as everyone’s “Huckleberry“…;-) Regardless, of it’s origin…Jimmy Brewer adopts the useage from the movie “Tombstone“, where Doc Holiday (played by Val Kilmer) repeats several times in the movie, “I’ll be your huckleberry”…translation…BRING IT ON…whatever “IT” is…;-)
Major props to Santa Barbara dentist, Dr. Mark T. Weiser who enlisted Steve Marsh and his staff at the Shoreline Cafe in styling us out…ceviche…guacamole…buckets of Coronas…empanadas with the Chipolte dip…not to mention the final touch of the best damn corn dog in the world (mustard…ummm…) served up under a nearly full moon…;-)
To keep up with the raging demand for standup paddlesurf gear, we’ve added Quick Blade standup paddles to our product lines…(MSRP $320)
QuickBlade products are the natural evolution of paddle performance founded on years of competitive racing by Jim Terrell. Jim’s paddling career began in southwest Ohio on the Little Miami River near his hometown of Milford.
The signature feature of all QUICK BLADE paddles is excellent performance. A quick catch at the beginning and a clean exit at the end of the stroke prompted the name QUICK BLADE. Only after determining the ultimate requirements for performance, was the compromise of strength, durability, lightweight and cost addressed.
