Sick Dude,

There's nothing better than a new stick!

I hope it brings you many a good session.

You should maybe add a link to your pics for faster viewing.

Speak soon,
JB

rfw1,

Wow, a lot of anger! It's probably not a good time to remind you that Stand-up paddle surfing was around before shortboarding, and that there are far less mals & sup's out there then Shortboarders. Don't get me wrong, I also ride a short board,and a mal, and I Kite and Windsurf, but sometimes the surf is better suited to other surf craft, I tend to choose what works best for the conditions.

I hope all sup surfers are educated upon their purchase to steer clear of crowds, and beach break line ups. We do not want SUP to get a reputation as wave hogs, or worse... as DANGEROUS.

Sup is great for fat, long, normally unridable waves.

Thanks for voicing your concerns rfw1, but i do not believe you can blame Mals and SUP's for a growth in Bodyboarders, maybe they just enjoy doing it over stand up surfing because of the aggressive ****ers that generally try to own a line up? It's pretty rare to hear a mal rider calling abuse all over the place and offering to smash someones head in.

Anyway, it is a good point bought up, please take note all SUP surfers out there. We are not welcome in crowded line up's, and it is not safe for other water users. Please stick to open uncrowded breaks away from the masses.

Regards,

JB

don't you mean little wave snakes, young guys surfing in packs, good stuff love nothing more than bottom turning around the little bastards on my wave board when the winds up, a little tear in there eye when someone else i dominating the water, the oceans free water ride what you like i say.. the hawaiian have been riding these for centuries, a bit of home work before anger next time i think...
