I do each workout in less than 40 minutes with small intervals (trying to get in cardio at the same time - for surfing) with 30 sec of rest between each set exercise and 2 min between each superset.
It's mostly upper body as you can tell and I need help putting together these exercises in an order so that everything is complimented as best as possible to receive maximum results. Please help me reorganize these workouts so that I am doing so! Thanks.

Goals?
That really is way to much volume. You will be fine with starting strength. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...rting+strength
Less volume, more frequency.

Goals are to gain more upper body power for surf paddling. So having tricep exercises on different days is OK? Because right now I am under the impression that if I do all exercises for one group one day, then that allows them to heal better than exercising them twice a week with different exercises.

I would say you're more than ok to exercise the same muscle group more than once. I hit the same muscle groups 2-3 a week with my athletes. It comes down to intensity and volume.
Bodybuilders only hit a group once a week, generally, because they train their bodies as separate parts, while athletes train their muscle groups as one. Also, they use huge volume and do more damage to their muscles than athletes.

I'm not sure what you mean by " My main concern is timing which exercises I perform in order to gain maximum results."
I was making the point that if you spread out your workout over the course of the week, you can increase your volume, and you can increase your intensity.
For example, if you did 25 sets once a week you would never be able to get through the whole workout, but if you did 5 sets 5 times a week, your volume would seem next to nothing.

OK I gotcha, so what I'm doing is ok? I'm not trying to even be a "lifter". Lifting is so boring I just need to so I'm good when I hit the water. What I meant by that is apparently not even relevant so don't worry about it. Thanks!
