Moved to the SUP forum as that seems to be the appropriate home for this discussion...


It was a conversation between a group of people about life in general - a bit of fun - why the **** would you need to move it ?

Not liking what I've just witnessed,hey we may be Longboarders first but some of us enjoy the sup too,so why can't we talk about sup in the Longboard forumAs Billboard said we are never serious like some forums and just a few mates taking the piss on one another,so why TF would you move his topic in here

yer i went to townsville a couple of weeks ago and had the idea of going to the pound and getting a dog to take on my paddles up there [just incase a croc turned up ] you can work the re3st out what the dog was for.[}:)]

Some good lookin muts of the four legged kind in there boys. Used to have a Jack Russell Foxy cross that was a stick chasing machine. Would throw logs into the shorey and she'd spend 20 minutes dragging them out and up the beach. Ended up having to get cruciate ligament ops on the old girl cos she wore out her knees. All good in any forum.

Well said Beerssup,problem is some forums are full of piss taking fun with mates and others are full of heroes,go figure.

For the record that wild bird who hi-jacked the sup forum by moving a topic from the longboard forum is a true Galah and should fix his or she wrongs

dogs and surf love it
had a border collie for nearly 18 years my best mate and what a loyal one. Now my four year daughter love listening to stories about her when we used to go to beach and traveling, the only way she will go to sleep at the moment. A great time to reflect on those special memories.
What a great subject
One day will get another

My son & our 'Jackie' a few months ago on Bridgewater Lake (SW VIC). When he climbed on, she jumped into the water (which she doesn't normally do!) & swam up to the board, so I helped her on. They paddled around together for about 15 mins - great fun.

Since then, I've picked up a free small sup (it's a sinker for me, unfortunately) & cut down a paddle for the kids.

Yep, I agree. I only opened this as I was sure it was Bill spanking on about someone or creating mischief.

I open it and get this nicey nice stuff, so dissapointed!

Bill, keep the nice stuff for the old and frail in the Longboard room. Everyone on the SUP forum just wants to be grumpy and we won't have you spoiling our day!

Hey cmc - I hear billboard bought himself a pup tent and moved to arrawarra, never to be heard from again.
I am the new billboard and from now on it's only nice and fluffy all the way - seriously

New outlook, new attitude and totally new focus

Oh - if anyone is keen for a sup in the morning, boofy and I will be meeting at 8am just south of the border for a fun and gentle little sesh - PM me if you wanna join us.

That is soooooo cute - love it

The more pics of dogs surfing that I see, the more it becomes apparent that, the ones with the least knowledge seem to be having the most fun.

I've had so many emails from pupsup'ers this week that I reckon there is enough interest in running a pupsup nationals next year

Watch this space for information on "Pupfest 2012"





(just gotta teach her how to hold a paddle)

Can anyone on or near the goldy who has surfing/boating dogs recommend really good pfd's for pooches that don't cost the earth. I am using a cheapy bcf one at the moment thats ok whilst she's in flatwater but when she gets a bit older I want something way better for open water.

Thats just a magic photo - in some ways it just sums up what this sup thing is all about I reckon - what I mean, is that essentually surfing is surfing but sup is "whatever the hell you want it to be". We have to stop taking ourselves so seriously and trying to keep up with the jones's and just follow our own path and enjoy it. Personally I'm enjoying it more than ever despite my physical limitations and I just love every second that Im out paddling with my dog or catching a few little waves down the coast with a couple of like-minded mates. Interestingly I've been trading emails the last week with sup'ers like me who've almost gone full circle back to the beginning where they are getting back to cruisey allround boards and spending more time paddling with their wives, kids, dogs and just getting the biggest buzz out of it - maybe we're getting old - I like to think we are just smart enough to have figured it out
