holy shit! Just came across this, but it's exactly my problem! Paddling aggravates it, but ya, it's often a rough duck dive which starts it, or a heavy sprint paddle. i realized after a while I was using my wrist to try to gain force but it really doesn't generate that much energy. So I ended up mentally forcing my hands to basically go limp during the pull through, because they're just the literal paddle surface, but all the force is all truly in the torso
Thanks for this. I have been having pain in my elbows for years now. Sometimes it gets so bad I can't even turn the ratchet on my surfboard rack after a session.
I sure hope this helps. Give it a try and see how it feels after a few weeks. Make sure you start with the below feeling okay, then build up the strength.

So glad this helped illuminate the issue. Hope the elbow is feeling better now.
