  • This book is worth so much more than $30.
The writing is excellent, the quality and value of the information is sky high, and the tremendous amount of work, knowledge, and effort that went into it is apparent. I don’t know Rob, and I don’t leave reviews, but I felt compelled to say something given the book is so new and his first. The book explains the scientific principles at work in an easy to digest way (I stopped understanding science at a 9th grade level, so legit easy), and it provides a system for how to train your body to make the right movements muscle memory. If you like to understand why and how things work not just figure out what works, especially about your movement or how water works, this is a primer on moving through water. Hate on paddling or don’t, if you surf you’re a lanky land mammal just trying to move through water one way or another. The book does not give a quick fix, it's not a listicle or a tiktok hack. I’m sure it’ll take time to all come together in the water as second nature, as with all things worth doing. But I’d bet my money--or, more accurately, I'll bet my time--that this will get me there deliberately much quicker than waiting for it all to happen by trial and error (while I rip a rotator cuff in the meantime, surely). Buy it, you'd buy a new leash if it broke tomorrow. Repair that, buy the book. ... show more

  • Must have for any surfer
The techniques and approach to paddling described in this book are a must for any surfer. More than anything else, this will improve your surfing. I’ve worked with Rob in person and reviewed his videos and I am so glad I did - the improvement for me has been a game changer. This book is well written - clear and with great pace. It’s a great compliment to his other resources but I’m sure also stands on its own. ... show more

  • Must read for any surfer
Took Rob’s class in person and watch his live streams. He provides so much information that it is easy to forget some of it when out in the water. This book makes a great companion to his classes or just as an initial resource to learn the fundamentals to good paddling and remind you of all the aspects to work on. Rob has helped me catch more waves with less shoulder pain and I can go days on end with less fatigue. You’ll hear it a million times, I wish I had found this info sooner. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • This will literally save you thousands of strokes.
Surfing is mostly paddling and this book and the technical and conceptual information contained in it are game changers. The effects of improving your stroke are exponential based on the sheer number of strokes you take in any given session, multiplied by years of surfing. I used to treat my surf stroke like a swim stroke but they are very different. I owe Rob a bunch of waves. ... show more

  • Excellent book on paddling and surfing
Great book on paddling and surfing. I can't recommend it enough. Beneficial for beginners and pros.

  • Excellent advice on surf paddling!
Surfing Paddling Technique contains the salient points of Rob’s first level online course. Both are excellent. The ability to read about an element of paddling technique, try it in the water, and then reread at one’s own pace, should benefit most anyone. And I learned things from the book that I overlooked watching the online course, proving that I read better than I listen. Maybe you do too? A more efficient paddling technique and a reduction in the likelihood of shoulder injury should be of high value to any surfer. The introductory cost of that know-how is low. Buy the book, it’s a no-brainer! ... show more
