Watched a Stand Up Skateboarder in Hawaii - I don't get it either

I go into the SUP (ordered a raceboard, building a 10'3"), Kiteboarding (I kite), Sailing (I sail), the Longboard and Shortboard (I like the Longboard section better ) and the General for the Funny pictures thread

I stay out of the rest of them - especially the Pole dancing section

Great topic doggie, I started out in the SUP room because a mate opened a shop on the GC and I got my best none surfing mate to buy one so I could give it a crack.Funny thing is he kicks my arse on one.
After that I bought a 11.4 as I wanted a flatwater board with a little surf on small days. It took four weeks and I was surfing it and IMHO it was a dog. So I traded it for a more surf SUP and used it week in week out and decided this is going to be my second option. I used it last weekend to pick up two bottles of champagne that the young ones throw in the water out the backyard at one of mac's parties.
I started surfing shortboards years ago and loved it until mac bulked up a tab and longboards became the easier option.
So I just enjoy surfing in general, from my short days to my longboad days. However the guys in the SUP hate me and are serious to the point I have been warned via a phone call to stop bagging a brand. The short guy's I enjoy as I love reading their stuff and commitment.As I too visit Bali a couple of times per year,some work related but mostly holidays. There was a guy on the forum called fatsurf,we both lobbied for the longboard room which we have today.

The story was three guys were going to have a go,funny thing is I know one of them and for years,if he found out it was me he was going to bash it wouldnt have happened.

mac the old cage fighter

this is a story I need to hear more about - spill mac. Is this due to a mal v sup thing or what ? I have kinda just caught the arz end of all this and I am needing to know more.

sup er and it was a simple thing, I said a particular board was **** to surf.

Givem my number next time mate, I luv a chat

Yeah, I dont think that any brand is any better than any other in the way they surf - it is completely different to every surfer. Yes, certain brands use better quality blanks/glass/etc etc but that really means FA at the end of the day because it doesn't mean that you will surf a quality made board any better than a cheap chinese popout. I guess if you are a really really good surfer then a top end primo board most probably will surf better for you but for mugs like me I just tend to surf what works for me, no matter what the brand or country of birth. To be honest if money was no object I would probably buy a premium name brand but money is an object so I tried a heap of boards in my price range and have come up with something I could afford and also really enjoy surfing. Isn't it amazing how poverty makes you so much more open minded.

There's a kneelo that rides at Mona Vale - he rips.

The only one I don't understand is standing up/kneeling on a body board....
