SUP is not only waves.. I'm sure that Flat water SUP is already bigger then SUP in the wave!
Not every place in the world have waves!!! What they should do shot themselves in the head...
There are about 600.000 surfer in the world
Seems a conservative estimate, I'm sure there were more guys than that hassling the peak at Chungu last time I checked it there.
I think you mean Canggu... Yes is getting ridiculous busy and that is why I don't surf there!!!!
Regarding the numbers.. Yes it sounded also to me conservative but the person that told me should be quite knowledgeable. Maybe you can find some other estimate?? The point is that Rowers outnumber surfer almost 4 to 1... And while I don't see why all surfer should like SUP.. Jeez I hope not!!! I can see why most of the Rowers would like it.. Better standing then sitting down or on your knee (canadian canoe)..
SUP give a more complete work out and is more fun even in flat water..
I know as I use to do canoeing and I will pick up a SUP any day of the week to a canoe...
Bye Jankie
SUP in surf will end up the being the big come back for Goat Boats for entry levels. Meaning if one finds trying to balance on a SUP is too changing then try Goat Boats similar to - if you can not ride a short surfboard go for a knee/boogie board.
The main objective is just have fun ignore the red thumbs as they generally critise and do not try what they knock
Still no pics puffy,
You don't ride a boogie board do you?
Cause, yeah, I wouldn't show pics of that either.
Kinda like jumpin a fat chick, or riding a motor scooter, bit of fun, but you don't want anyone to know.
At least show us one where you made the take off
Dont pick on me prawnhead your only a year or two behind ....just cause I ride a boogey board and dont stand up never could , Im coming to crash your local soon and set me tent up out side your shop you still in the same spot? also can I borrow your one of your lids,and Joe I seen smoke over that way yesterday morning was it a car or just the boys for the bronx having fun again...
I just dont get supping. Riding a short board is the best in terms of what you can do on a wave but in Perth sometimes conditions are not ideal, I ride at least a 9 foot mal, anything shorter and youve got a s"£$ hybrid. Sometimes I get a wave hungry tool that wants to sit 10m further out the back and try and claim every wave. Due to paddle rate and and better change of direction you can actually out hassle them. So they drop in and I push them off their board. So the future of SUP is to lose the paddle. SUM (stand up malibu)
