Just stole this off the www.supgladiator.com website...


YOU KNOW YOU'RE A SUP JUNKIE IF...

1. You spend more money per year on SUP Gear and Accessories, than you do on your car.

2. You cycle through your SUP Quiver more frequently than you do your wardrobe.

3. Your friends and family have ever asked you if you have joined some type of cult.

4. You see a body of water ANYWHERE, and all you can think about is how much fun it would be to SUP on it.

5. You have traveled more than a thousand miles this year for SUP Races.

6. You have more fins for your boards, than you do belts for your pants.

7. You subscribe to all 3 SUP Magazines, and go through withdrawals the months in between issues.

8. You have more Paddle friends on Facebook, than real friends, who you have actually met in person.

9. Every profile pic and avatar in your online world is of your SUP board, or you riding it somewhere.

10. Have ever gotten the “Finology 101” training from Larry Allison, and called back for EVEN more information about fins.

11. Refer to the Pope multiple times per week and your not Catholic.

12. You get real irritable if you haven't paddled in more than a week.

13. You look up wind charts and forecasts more than twice a week.

14. You know what Cantilever Flex means.

15. You consider Laird Hamilton a better athlete and more influential than Michael Jordan.

16. If you have ever spoken of “Slater” being one of the greatest surfers or watermen around, and you weren't talking about Kelly.

17. If Momma C knows you by name and you don't live in Dana Point.

18. Have taken 2 or more “Paddle Clinics” from the pros.

19. If you have ever answered “Dave Kalama's Blog” when answering the question “What are you reading these days?”

20. If your most anticipated movie of the year is one of the new SUP films coming out this summer.

21. If you plan your vacations around paddle destinations.

22. If you see a story or post referring to “Chuck,” “E.J.” or “Maximus” and you know exactly who they are referring too.

23. If you have 3 or more Stand Up Paddle T-Shirts or Hats in your closet.

24. If you own a Luchador Mask and wear it proudly.

I think you need to replace the word 'week' with 'day' for 12 & 13!

There's a couple of questions that are maybe a little skewed to the US or make no sense to me, but one I would add is...

If your family has threatened to stage an intervention if you bring home one more SUP board.

(that happened to me about 3 boards ago)

Or another question...

Do you own a SUP board that you store permanently in another country?

Um, maybe?
Only 45 weeks until next year's big trip, and maybe a short trip earlier in the new year too!
