Probably Great For Real-Live SurfersJanuary 18, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought these for lap swimming not realizing that they were fingertipped. This makes them a little heavy for my purpose, but I can imagine that they'd be great in the ocean--where they're intended to be used.
It's a must have for small hands.January 12, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love my paddle gloves. My hands are small which makes it difficult to paddle out as fast as other surfers. I'm able now to keep up. It's a must have!

I use these for surfing. They are comfortable and do what they are supposed to do, i.e., give you a bit more zip in your paddle. They also have the added benefit of keeping your hands a little warmer and even more notably, helping keep your hands from getting scratchs, pinched or otherwise injured from the board or leash. It does take a bit of getting used to, because you have to train your body to do the opposite of what it was trained to do before (keeping your fingers spread, as opposed to cupping tightly without gloves). Also, I experienced a bit more arm and shoulder muscle fatigue, because I'm moving your water and pulling harder, but that only lasted a few outings.
