I agree with dean sorry LSD.
i was getting into the sport because i thought the people that were doing it were tired of the crowds so were getting one to get to spots away from the crowds etc. What i have found up where i live and yes I'll say it NOosa, and no i didnt just move here, seems to be the other way around.
they come right out at first point, johnsons,T-tree granite etc, All these spots are already crowded with shortboards and longboards.Phil Jarret and his contest to exploit here doesnt help, i dont know one true local who is behind it.
Have i SUPED a couple breaks here?? mostly johnsons as very few people, first point once, took off on this guy that i dont like anyway apologized to him, and told him it wasnt because i was on a sup, it was because I didnt like him and he falls off way to much.Said I would have done the same thing on my shortboard or longboard.
Give Respect get Respect Im bloody 53 years old been surfing for 45 of those years and can tell you got my fair share of **** from the older crowd. It was part of growing up and hierarchy. Somewhere down the track that seems to have gone, well bring it back,we swam if we lost our board so the next guy got the wave, we also thought about the maneuver we were going to try, because it could be a long swim.
I see guys SUPing now where they dont have to paddle very far at all break is right there, and its crowded, I'm having second thoughts, third thoughts, maybe i'm just living in the wrong area or the wrong time. Am sure i'll get plenty of **** for this,but truth usually does.
wondering where it all went wrong

Having just read through this 3 pg topic , it's disappointing how some people have mis interpret the original message from Phill (OG SUP) ..... 'RESPECT'.....but i totally understand everyone is entitled to there own opinion .

This message was to HELP an unknown fellow stand up paddle surfer down our way that needs to be aware that locals are not happy with his/her lack of RESPECT in the water.

Phill could have ignored the complaint from local's down our way but he decided to offer advice in hope this person may read this and re think next time . I have also witnessed this kind of act's before and i believe it's positive that Phill has the respect from the local's in his town to even discuss this issue (That has nothing to do with Phill) ....may be they should have discussed this issue with person , but maybe it might have been hot issue at the time and i RESPECT them for not taking action during the heat of the moment.

Phill is an absolute gentleman and an inspiration in and out of the water.

END OF THIS TOPIC.

At last! Someone with a modicum of intelligence. How this crap has dragged on for three pages is beyond me

A tip for those considering a trip to Pt. Impossible....

Steer clear of inside Pt. Impossible altogether. Ordinary waves - crowded with wave hogging mal riders at the best of times.

Outside break is better, but onerously crowded. Much better waves on the west coast on a good day.

The Pt. Impossible breaks are pretty sheltered, so if they're breaking - everywhere is working between there and Apollo Bay giving you heaps of choices. Let the idiots fight it out without you and enjoy the sensational Great Ocean Rd!

In general, visitors to Victoria probably won't experience 'localism' and it's relatively easy to find a wave without too much hassles in the line up - particularly in Winter.You'd get some sick waves!

Enjoy.
