Just reading through the latest Tracks surfing mag (btw JB great full page Naish SUP add) and I came across this article that refers to us as Sea-Sweepers..

They recommend making a comment on their "Spill ya guts" forum and I thought I would check out all the bad things that they say about us..There's no surprises.

I was temped to register and log on and give my point of view but I don't think it would be worth it..They're a one eyed bunch.

It reminds me of motorcycle forums that touch on the topic of Choppers and you get all the negative comments like "How can you carry luggage".."Look how uncomfortable that would be" and "Let's see them on a race track and we'll see how good they are"...Sheesh!!

They just don't get it...I wonder if they know that some of the surfing greats are doing it now and loving it..the greats like Mark Richards, Tom Carroll, Mark Occhilupo..even the great Kelly Slater himself.

Here's a link.. http://forum.tracksmag.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3673&st=0&sk=t&sd=a ..It will be interesting to see if anyone does take a stand for stand up..

Don't worry DJ, it's an old piece and really who gives a toss what the next fella thinks ..... all that matters is that you love it .... end of story really.
I don't SUP for fitness, I don't SUP cause I am too old, I don't SUP cause some ex-pro does it, I don't SUP cause I want to be waterman .....
I SUP cause it's friggin great!!!!
Oh and cause I rip shti up!!!!


PS ........... Aloha

I bet I can shortboard better than most of them on that forum.
Its the kooks that complain.
