there are plenty of sup in noosa and only bits and pieces of rage ,the local short boarders seem to handle it,but they can be greedy f...ers,always up the inside,a number of local longboarders dont seem to handle it too well but its underlying whingeing not rage,the fact is sup looks like its here to stay,with the likes of egan .carrol, lovett ,lopez etc etc coming from the darkside to sup and clubs popping up its our job to educate the new sup surfer,they just dont know the rules.annie sup and surfs the most crowded break in noosa everyday and never cops rage, she gets the occassional alpha male trying to bluff her out but she handles that ok.give some sets away,the local pack love it when you call a three or four wave set for the pack in take off zone,i almost stopped surfing because of crowds,didnt get wet over easter at all, just too many floaters,mind you with all the rain everyone that surfed over easter got lurgy from the water runoff except me,back in the water now and loving it.
diver is on the money,the longboarders have had their world turned over,i have done both,sup and longboard and know the feeling but i sup most of the time now and can handle the situation with not being too greedy,i can still pick of the sets but give plenty of 'your wave'calls
give them a go on a sub,most times they are hooked,the biggest whingers just wont have a go for fear of likeing it
paddles out and starts acting like the local beach inspector. Funny I didn't see that "local" in the line up last year
very funny, I like it!
) you will see it on rocks and signposts at most spots. They read No mals or No Retro fishes or No qlders, no homos,and F... of qlders. funny though i never saw a sign that read no SUP.Firstpoint.....we dont live in a good area Noosa.
Its been crowded here for a long time and we both have been here a long,long time. Trying to beat the crowds by surfing different spots at different times of the day. Even paddling out before light at times. I think you could say we have rode everything that floats pretty much..however i stayed so far away from people they didnt even know i rode a SUP. I joined this forum because the philosophy that most of the members have is what i believe in.Staying away from crowds,able to surf spots not easily accessible by shortboards, waves so small even longboarders aren't interested, for example. Sadly, the reality is..... it seems already, this philosphy is going out with the tide, down with the swell. I would love to be able to SUP or Longboard or shortboard where i live. Do you really think that we are going to be able to educate all these ______???? like someone said earlier, i should be able to surf my local spot especially since i can surf. but already so, so, disillusioned, and yes its because of where i live so do i move??? Been there done that.. or do I give in to surf rage???
multihull,do we just forget manners and burn the touro's,i think not,we both know that we can still use our local knowledge to either find a gap in the crowd by surfing before they are allowed out or taking off in the zone and use our knowledge of the break to control the hire boards and backpackers,(dodging floaters can be fun)or do we head for our secret spot that we talked about yesterday. probably all of the above,we live in paradise,crowded as it might be,we will still be in boardies or a short john at most come mid winter still catching uncrowded beachies.southern vic is uncrowded at many breaks but f...k its cold!!!
You can not be letting a board that big go In a crowd, you will kill someone
