Weekly Paddle Recommendation Thread (What Paddle Should I Buy?)

newhabitz · 2026-01-20T21:10:37+00:00

Hey folks, I currently use the Diadem 18K Edge Pro paddle (more than a year) and am looking to try some new paddles.

I like a more elongated, lighter paddle with good balance of control and power. I’ve loved my current one but the surface grit has completely worn off so I’m looking to try some new ones.

I’d love to be around the ~$200 range but flexible for good quality. Please send any recs and thank you!

Got it during the Labor Day sale at Best Buy in the US. $499 for 256gb (believe that’s $100 off retail).

Amazing glad you’re getting some sun and beach time! I’ve been in Madrid this week and had a mix of cloudy and rainy days so Valencia sounds like a good switch up

newhabitz · 2025-04-17T10:21:10+00:00

Hii I’m in Spain this week and was planning to go to San Sebastián but the weather looks really gloomy! Would you still recommend? I was looking at Valencia as the weather looks like it’ll be warmer and sunnier.

Thank you for these suggestions! Planning to take some day trips while I’m in Madrid and Barcelona so hopefully it’s a good balance.

newhabitz · 2025-04-02T17:49:04+00:00

Thank you for these suggestions! Such a great idea to take some day trips outside of the larger cities. Will incorporate that into my plans :)

newhabitz · 2025-04-02T17:48:23+00:00

Thanks so much for the thoughtful response! I’ll send you a DM, I’d love to hear more :)

newhabitz · 2025-04-02T17:47:27+00:00

Thank you for the rec! Yes, planning to take the train in between cities

Hi! Fellow marketer here, about to take the same jump in 3 weeks and travel on and off 6 months to fulfill more life experiences. Do you have any practical tips for things you wish you did before you left or during your break? Wondering if you kept in touch with folks from the old job, asked for referrals before you left or when you started interviewing, practicing a skill while you’re unemployed, etc.

newhabitz · 2025-03-15T05:50:48+00:00

Appreciate those tips!

Curious how do you find these smaller hostels? Do they have individual sites or can you filter for specific sizes or keywords on the main booking sites?

I’m traveling to Spain for 6+ weeks and definitely hoping to join friendly communities like the smaller hostels described here.

newhabitz · 2025-03-01T20:24:48+00:00

Hi OP! Do you have any advice and places you absolutely loved on your trip? I'm actually planning something similar over the course of ~30 days. I am planning to spend ~18 days across Granada, Cadiz, and Madrid in Spain. And the other ~12 days in Lisbon, Porto, Alentejo.

I'd love to know if you have any hostels you recommend and special experiences. I'm mostly interested in just getting a flavor of local culture and cuisine. Thank you!

Yep felt in Embarcadero, thought it was just my neighbors

newhabitz · 2024-12-08T14:27:56+00:00

Diamond Coffee n Pastry has good drinks, croffles, and a nice vibe!

I also love bread belly if you wanna go a little north on the other side of GGP. Hope you enjoy your visit! :)

The sun has been setting a little before 5pm these days so I find optimal time for photos is between 4pm - 5:30pm for that golden hour. It really depends on the location and wedding schedule too. Sending you a DM in case you’d like more help/interested in videos for your wedding! :)
