Reading some of the topics here of late really leaves me, and others I'm sure, shaking my head.

So, do we all want to ride the same short / long board or SUP so then there is no argument as to equipment or can we just except that we all have our own likes and dislikes and accept the individuality ? What happened to choice ?

Listening to you all winging about SUPs in the line up, longboards being for old farts, short boards being for rippers on the Goldy etc etc is a load of bull**** and to be honest, every single one of you should take a good hard ****en look at yourself cause you have all totally lost the plot of why we started surfing in the first place.......FUN !

For ****s suck, get yourselves a quiver, ride them all, experience them all and forget about what the next bloke is doing and express yourself however you like without fear of castigation, comment and negativity.

I've copped my fair share on here and in the water, and received praise at times too and to be honest, I couldn't give a flying **** cause it's my trip, my surf experience and try as you might, you won't take those moments and experiences away from me whether in the surf, the ocean or river.

Just smile, laugh, enjoy and say gidday to your mates and don't let SUP go down the road of the 1990's short board ego era !

Hilly, you at the ape end of your avatar ?

'I don't believe' is my opinion from my experience.....everyone else can go for their life but it was just my opinion....not gospel.

I know not many give a **** about my opinion but I felt better for letting it out anyhow.

Every board has it's day......short, long or SUP.....not the narrow minded thoughts of some.

It's not rocket science.

Hey King,

It was frustration and not hostility.

It takes a hostile individual to percieve and judge anything as hostility that isn't.

Further frustration that a thought is read as a rant when it was comment.

Seriously - I couldn't agree more with the opening topic.

The ego that surrounds water craft/sport is really quite sad.
I hung out and lived close to Cronulla beach my whole childhood. I moved to Coalcliff for 10 years.

I NEVER surfed - but love the ocean.

Does this mean I have any rights ??

You have the right to remain silent,anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of life.....There does that help?Personally I think a good bagging session between various types of clones can be almost as fun as the surf it's self.I mean really,next thing they'll be calling me nigger.
