i've seen a few comments lately on whether SUP is surfing and it really gets up my nose. Usually from those who have never tried it and think to themselves "I know I won't like it cause i've never tried it ". Just because it's done differently does not mean that it is a valid form of surfing. I mean were standing on the wave, were doing all the moves,what more could you want. Some of us do it for medical reasons like buggered hips and the like and some do it just for the buzz.
But for gods sake it's still surfing. Short board, longboard, SUP it's still surfing.
Goatboats however are still fair game.

SUP isn't surfing...'surfing' seems to be mostly about wallowing around with a face like a slapped arrse not riding waves.

Surfing,SUP surfing, wind surfing,bodysurfing, kite surfing etc etc, It's all surfing. The art of wave riding whichever way you choose! Let the narrow minded ones whinge & moan while we have a great time. Cheers

What about those poor little boogers? Don't they get a say in the matter? It would they need a parent or guardian's signature?
