Did you have a word to him?

DJ

Where was it? as it was onshore at 6am and small if it was wa :-(

I took a log out to my local on Thursday morning rather than a SUP.

A guy came out on an 8'4 Naish and straight away took the set wave........we waited (me, 2 mals and a shorty) and he paddled past us, swung around and into the next one wave set.

We waited and waited and yep, he paddled straight past into the next one wave set, as he took the drop, I called him and he told me to F--K off as he wizzed past.

We sat.....he paddled back out, told me to F--K off again, told me that he'll take every F--ken set wave he wants and it was the longboarders that started it so F--K off.

I told him to pull his head in and that he is the type that give the sport a bad name and his efforts relect on all SUP'pers at that spot - he is a local there but obviously does not care.

He got out next wave (of course the one wave set), went home, got changed then came back in his car and watched....assumed waiting for me to get out so he could continue.

What a tool !

I hope he reads this.......mate, you are a knob - and all those around you on Thursday thought the same.

I love your photos but sometimes you come across as a whinger. Surfers always compete for waves if a prone paddler or mal or sup dominates the pack that is the norm rather than the exception. Occasionally you go out with just your mates and you share 99% of the time you compete with alphas for waves no matter what craft they are on. If you were on a log why not paddle deeper??? 8 4 v 9 foot think it is pretty even. Toughen up princess ;-)

First time I've ever agreed with Hilly - got a great chuckle from the "alpha" comment btw. Maybe Hilly should get drunk and bang away on the forum more often.

Surfanimals does take good pics but yep.... comes across to me as someone who took his art's degree and left wing uni politics way too seriously.

Or maybe his dad just didn't hit him hard enough as he was growing up?

A 'Log' is not 9'0 !

I'm not gonna push an 8'4 SUP deeper when I'm riding a 10' glassed in single fin with 7 redwood stringers and no leggie - I'm happy to share but he wasn't.

Totally missed the point here fella's but my PM to you might clarify and put it to bed.

Was wondering what you meant by a 'log'

I had visions of Freddie Flintstone in the lineup...

SA,

lovin your pics and the old school effect, your wasting your key strokes go for a surf!

I am!

Phill
