When its flat or if the waves are not very big it makes sense to use this type of equipment. The problem is when people use SUP boards to hog waves. Given the nature of the equipment, the SUP riders have the ability to pick up the wave sooner than other surfers, including longboarders. It is selfish and disrespectful to others in the water and leads to feelings of animosity. This can be said of anyone who doesn't share waves with the other people in the water. It seems to me that the problem is not really the SUP boards, but rather the riders themselves who sometimes are very selfish. In my experience with SUP riders, they seem to have an attitude of superiority, as if using an SUP board makes them a "waterman." Drop the attitudes and share the waves and we should get along just fine. I think SUP surfing is just fine in certain situations.

The sea is a big place and all kinds of people, of all fitness levels, should be able to try any sport they like. And for those who are just starting out and cant surf or don’t have a huge amount of fitness so what! It’s great for anyone to get out and enjoy the water. I have never surfed and just learning SUP’ing, it’s great fun and it does take skill and fitness and there is a lot to learn and lot you can do. It is also versatile as you can use it on canals, rivers, lakes. This sport will get bigger and bigger so get used to it! There's room enough for all of us! Just because you are a surfer it doesn’t make you cool, especially with an attitude like yours!!!! Miles, you are completely ignorant!

Surfing once required practice... you'd spend months after months on your buddies old long board, or that soft-top rental catching whitewash just learning how to get your feet under you on the damn things... So the SUP'ers took the equation of surfing, and stripped out the three hardest things. wave timing, propulsion, and standing-up. It's putting training-wheels on a dirtbike so any schmuck can ride one!! SUPing is just not 'core'. It requires more external materials, more gear... and frankly, for surfers who love the ocean -- it's more wasteful! I'm more intrigued by these Alaia boards because they are less impactful on the environment than even the smallest of short boards. SUP = SUV!

After a shoulder injury and surgery, prone paddling became extremely difficult and painful. Now I'm back in the water and loving every minute of it. Since I started out as a prone paddler and I understand how much it sucks to surf with wave hogging A holes, I always give everyone plenty of room. Never drop in. Never cherry pick set waves. I'd rather ride slop and leftover garbage if it is crowded, and I still have fun. Yet, I still get occasional wise ass comments from other surfers. Usually about being so young and riding an 'old fart's board', or for 'cheat surfing'. I just shrug my shoulders and move on, cuz when its knee-high slop for weeks on end, I'm out having the time of my life practicing my footwork at empty breaks while everyone else is sitting at home looking at advertisements in surfer magazine.

Practicing on inland flat water keeps us ready for any surf sessions we can get on the Oregon Coast. Stand up is a great way to get on the water when the surf is a long way off. With so many water ways to share around here we're always sharing SUP with as many people as we can. www.StandUpPaddleFlatwater.com In and around Bend, Oregon, we SUP paddle the rivers and lakes, including getting as many wind-driven wave sessions (on lakes) as we can.
