I love my Stand-Up Paddle Board!

Post by lostman » Wed Mar 26, 2008 10:30 am

I just love it!!!
The feeling I get standing out the back eyeing off approaching sets makes me feel like an ancient Hawaiian King. I love the general goodwill in the water towards me whenever I paddle out. I love the fact that I can take any wave I want (and I always do). I love fading old guys on their longboards. I love running over annoying speedbumps (shortboarders). The terror in the eyes of the swimmers as I approach the shorebreak at top speed and totally out of control, gee I love that!
I ride a stand up paddle board and I am a wanker!!

Can even drop in on them with the risk of being run over by the equivalent of a mac truck (fat guy steering the thing to boot).

If the kook cant get near enough to you .. he has a long stick to smack ya with :evil:

That old saw.

I really hate that saying. IMHO, it is one of the most untrue things ever said about surfing. It's just a way for self-deluded old farts to justify their ineptitude.

The best surfer in the water is the one that is surfing the best. Full stop. Fun, while an admirable pursuit, does not equal ability, SUPs being a outstanding case in point.

I just don't get it :?: Why would you want to lug one around, bother to paddle out with an oar and where the hell do you put it when you get home and what if you live in a unit. That's not counting the fact that you look like a dick :?

I struggle to work that out too, but in the spirit of 'to each their own' I'm holding fire (for now at least :lol: ) Anyways, as a bodyboarder in the '80s and (mostly) longboarder since the mid-late '90s I've copped my share of crap.

I guess the speed and glide would be the main thing, but having a paddle and using it to lever in turns, etc? dunno about the value in that

Having recently seen the popularity of the SUP in Hawaii I am greatly concerned that this fad still has a long way to go.
The difference over there is the SUP is ridden in real waves by surfers who can actually ride them - well!
It's quite staggering to see a local paddle in to a 3x overhead wave on an 11'6" SUP and casually whip that board in a tight snap in the pocket like they were on a 6'0'. Having room to move on a wave helps when your board is that big. Its still pretty funny/scary when they get cleaned up though!

Oh grazza, NO!! How can you!

Thousands of retro-embracing, guitar-picking, emotionally open, Sea-Shepherd-car-stickered, Jack-listening Soul Surfers will be bursting into tears at your heartlessness. You c**t.
