Hi Crew
Those are some nice waves and the SUP boys look to be ripping it up. I don't hang it on anyone for their choice of surfcraft and nor should I. To be able to take of earlier and a little deeper at times is an advantage on a SUP. We all started out kooks at some stage and gave a few in the line-up a scare but older and more experienced heads now give way, don't take every wave, call shortys onto waves as we can see the sets better and so on. Reading this post I get the feeling it was to stir the pot and thats what it did. Be respectfull out in the water share the stoke, they are not your waves, they belong to all.
Cheers Scott
NOT as bad as Stretch or TC however.
Great videos Jacko 
Snake is a must at some of the popular point breaks on the Gold Coast.
The real comp is, out snake the other snakes otherwise your just going
to sit there and watch. Sad but true, we have 7 year snakes in the lineup
they learn early 
allans snakes anyone
Legion .......dude you are the best forum quoter ever.
95% of the guys I surf with have the same motto
"LET A FEW GO THROUGH"
the other 5% I choose not to surf with anymore.
when ever I ride my shortboard there is always one surfer hogging everything.
does anyone on here work?
This is one good **** fight.
I think Legion has some very valid points, and can understand where he is coming from and he shouldn't be labeled a troll for speaking his mind.
I guess the real problem is what he can do about it. Unfortunately, I don't think a whole lot can be done.
Personally, I hate all that pecking order surf crap and use my sup to get away from those stresses - often all it's means is an extra 200m - 1km paddle to the next break. Where I'm not getting in anyone elses way but still in screaming distance.

Some of the positions these guys are in seem almost impossible without a paddle. In a lot of the pictures the paddle is quite loaded up. Some of them really don't look like they're turning off the rail. All of them look (to my untrained eye) like the paddle plays a significant role.
Legion thanks for posting these great pics...skillful guys huh? and just showing yet another great way to enjoy riding waves.
I know you're claiming to be polite and even dressing your behaviour up to be labelled as playing devils advocate but I just think you're s*t stirring. I love supping that's why I use this particular forum... I'm sure there's one for shortboarders??
Maybe you can turn up at the next SUP demo day
Then you can try and circumvent that learning process and go to the top of the heap
I've been an habitual background lurker on these forums for a while now and never really been tempted to post anything, but this lot has tempted me into virgin territory for post #1.
What a great read, I've had a smile on my face watching Legion battle his corner. Go hard fella, great entertainment.
My response is so what, it doesnt affect me. Last 4 surfs I've had the total heads in water has been me + one other and when he came out we shot the ** for a while then I went in - didnt want to crowd him let alone worry about snaking or dropping in.
Just for the record, my collection is boards in 6, 7, 8 & 9 and SUP in 10 and until recently 11 (bugger snapped in 2).
you are simply here to ** stir, that is a statement by myself and it really isn't up for debate.
