I think you have just spelled out the differences between Sups and surfers
I almost fully agree with you. 95% of sup'ers are cruisey, fun loving water people just like 95% of prone surfers and as such the majority of us dont need "governing" - however for the rest I believe you need to form/join/support a local club and build your "sport" from ground level - once clubs get stronger and more plentiful then you can start pooling resources and knowledge and create your own controlling body - if you really need to.
