Why would someone prone paddle out when it is easier to get over whitewater standing? If it were so small as to make prone paddling quicker then you wouldn't have to, would you.
Why would someone prone paddle?It's a surfing contest.
Most radical, critical series of turns win.
Smallest board does the most critical turns.
Smallest board is harder to stand and paddle out.
Can't stand to paddle out = prone paddle...not by choice.
If nobody cares if anybody prones out boards will get smaller.
All boards get smaller to be competitive...nobody paddles on their feet.
This thread had a simple question to begin with, has it become acceptable?
we all know more that 4 strokes is classified as a w@nk.....
its the same in comps...... and its part of the rules
you are allowed to paddle prone out of harms way but thats it
if you paddle laying down in a comp and I'm on the microphone you'll be copping a good pasting.....ill give you the tip
I remember a nsw states titles 2 years ago where we were in a heat together both getting smashed you did way more than 4 strokes laying down ... Spray yourself pieman
Yeah but that was over 5 foot close outs ?
Strange though from all the comps I've been to I havnt seen anyone prone paddle out ?? If they have to prone paddle back out there skills are Likely to be low and there probably not going to win a heat anyway so what's the point of this ???
