Paddling a surfboard with a kayak paddle??

Standup, long board paddling has seen a huge surge in popularity since Lair Hamilton showed up at Malibu with a paddle in one hand and a surfboard in the other.

Does anyone know if using double blade kayak paddle and a kneeling (or sitting) position has been tried? I can’t find anything related on the internet.

You mean like a wave ski?
I don’t think it would work very well on a normal style board, as the leverages and angles are different between a single and double bladed paddle technique, causing you to fall off.
Of course you could stand and use only one end of the paddle… :D
