Really what we need is some Anti Douche Police to kick out the cranckers as they are on all craft, I actually feel for the "responsible SUP" guys as they're tarred by the others and yeah, unfortunately it does seem to be a higher percentage of them...
It's the same in themotorcycle world. A lot of the recent buyers of scooters don't have any idea of what motorcycling is about. They have no care for other road users, nor other riders.

Everyone on sports bikes hates "born again bikers" in leather tassels on noisebikes for much the same reasons.
According to Safe Surf Hawaii, even though surfers tend to outnumber SUP users three to one at most surf spots, SUP users tend to take upwards of 75% of the good waves.
That sound like a very good reason to get into SUP
