At my local break down here it's pretty good in terms of SUP acceptance, but I suspect this has alot to do with there almost always being quite a few SUPers out and almost all of them are very competent.
That said however, if I surf elsewhere down here, I'm usually the only SUPer out and you have to put your game face on as you know your gonna cop some stink eye. Like others have said though, once they see that you know what you are doing and don't hog waves, the vibe changes and you can relax a little. I would also add that I'm not a great believer in sitting on the shoulder and only getting the scraps that the surfers don't want. If you are good enough and not reckless in how you surf, there should be no reason why you can't mix it with the surfers in the lineup.

Get the fins out of the lip keeps em quiet no trouble round these parts

So,time has moved on since SUP entered the the arena.

My question is, have things settled down at your local as
far as stink eye and all that BS?

I know SUP's are fine at mine and are treated like anybody else.
