I am going up to Cresent after christmas should I take my 9'6 Naish or will I cause to much tension in the water. Want to ride cresent do not want to cause trouble what do you think has anyone ridden uo there on the SUP. Thanks Rod
Mate if you worry about upsetting some people you will never use your Sup.Just give the prone guys space and respect and enjoy yourself , its not your problem if their not.I was out the other day in crap conditions about 4 or 5 other surfers and i was the only one catching waves and the only one with a smile on my dial , apart from the kids learning to surf.
My advice - if it is too busy there are HEAPS of breaks north and South. Point Plommer to the South and Scotts head to the north - both rock and are nowehere near as crowded!! 
Unless your an absolute shredder I would keep away from "regional classics" you just wont enjoy it as much, having to compete with 30 surfers,stink eye,and hassling, paddle up to an uncrowded lesser wave, you will enjoy it more
rodkite,if you can handle the Naish well,i would paddle out and start with the crumbs,paddle towards the inside every 5 or so minutes with a smile,make chat with the biggest local out there,they will respect you in time!Thats my option,always worked for me when out of town!Oh, me, not a SUPer!
