Opinions, theorising etc etc etc
You cannot surf these boards like a shortboard period !!
The paddle is there as a
Prop essentially and aids you to stand on the edge of the rail and lean almost level to the wave face on a bottom turn and also assists you to turn the board sharply on a re entry
It may seem pointless to sum however I'd love to see some of the knockers try shortboard stand ups
Perhaps it is envy that drives the negative spin in some ??
Oh also don't forget
IT IS SURFING .... Not supping
Just anotber form
I know he dabbles but put a paddle in his hand and the debate is finished.
I must say I really enjoyed the recorded "live" videos. These waves seem so tricky and technical, just managing them looks like a huge challenge.
Personally, I love seeing riders capitalizing on the SUP differences: volume and the speed it provides, and the paddle leverage in turns (whether you switch hands or not), trying to master trajectories different from modern shortboarding.
Wow this video is proving that SuP can be a vertical surfing and making wrong some negative insertions up here.
Really ripping, that's make me dreaming..thank's you.
