In my experience the greedy wave hogs comes back to age not what they are riding. Quite often they are in their teens or early twenties with energy to burn and snake inside everyone else.

Or they sit inside at a point break (and this applies to SB ers) duck diving the ones that break further inside and take off deeper than anyone else wants to sit, no prob there except they keep paddling out and sitting there all day.


But, LBs and SUPs can and do sit further out and can get the waves before a SB can. Often they sit deep because its the only way to catch the wave.

We have a spot over here where the LBs sit deep and the SBs sit closer in and a bit wider. If a LBer goes the SBs cant go. If no LBers go the wave is left for the SBs. It dosnt happen all the time like that but I have seen it happen. Generally there isnt a problem.

i find as i get older and more mature the manifest aggression i used to feel at people riding different sorts of surf craft has been absorbed by my acceptance of the true zen and soul i now get from my surfing journey ....

no discrimination..... i pretty well hate all other people in the water equally now !!


I would love to see you and Legion surf together in a heat


"I don't do contests "..(i was channeling legion)
.....................
except a few early kitesurfing ones where the amount of prizes and free beer generally exceeded the number of competitors and covered the cost of entry so everyone is a winner ,or pissed,............ or in my case both !!

interesting approach.....
a mate of mine from a pacific isle generally surfs by himself or with only 1 or 2 max so he makes a point of paddling over and shaking everyones hand whenever he surfs ,i generally only do it when i surf with him but it certainly was interesting the response he got on the east coast when he was here ,most guys didn't know what to make of it......... and it certainly works a treat in the mentawaii or anywhere else you arn't a full on local (ie every other break in the world )as it make you acknowledge everyone in the water and that tends to work both ways.worth a try sometimes

6'3 single fin for small onshore s**t, nice and thick, not too wide, floats like an aircraft carrier, F**kn good fun, best way to get back to grass roots. picks up waves as easy as a longboard and can still be turned fairly easily. I manage to get it out a few times a year for a laugh!

WHY Cause he rips

That's a boring old argument. OR is he and EX Pro surfer too so he should also be adored and looked up too.

Sup's aren't all kooks but there boards are fu-king dangerous when out of control. DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT COMMENT MAC CMC

I can drive a Jet ski like most would dream of in the surf but Im not aloud to. Chances of me getting out of control would be slim but if i did, i'd have no way of stopping the ski cleaning everyone up[}:)]

I get run into weekly by boogers but they just bounce of so its no biggy. I don't want a SUP hitting me so maybe get over yourselves BECAUSE I DON'T THINK, YOU aARE ALL AS GOOD AS YOU THINK YOU ARE

You wont get it will you,the topic meaning is simple,IF YOU call yourself a surfer and you all dowhy not have a quiver of boards that will get you out there more often and not climbing a ****** rock or driving a V8 ffs,this is a surfing forum,you and your mate doggie have made it very clear to me and others that your narrow minded when it comes to surfing,I've ridden them all and if I was a light weight I'd have a few shortboards as well.

A kook is a kook in and out of the water,have a good look at yourself.Any board ridden by a fkwit is dangerous and don't start me on the nobs that ride jet skis.

Get it now
and fk off with your last line mate because we know the real story.

I'd ride a LB, heck I love trimming across an unbroken wave or being a wave hog. But that's where I draw the line. I'm not gonna look like a bloody goon wearing my boardies on top of my wetty stroking a pole or flying a kite (wind sucks by the way)

Hey doggie if your talk my digs at the sup guy's I know most of them over here,we have a love love relationship its all piss take and they know it,they all know I'm an ex shortboarder come longboarder who had a crack at sup'ing which wasn't my thing but I don't seriously bag them out.Jacko would kick any of you shortboards arse on a shortboard any day of the week but he enjoys his sup's more.
Its ok to have a dig with people you know,but not the ones you don't.

Your old mate Lacey and I go way back to our shortboarding days and he ripped,he now rides a sup and I a longboard does that mean we cant be friends anymore.


No mac you can do what you like.
Jacko might rip, good on him. If enjoys SUP more, I find that hard to believe but not my problem.
I like to do what I do. I dont think I need to explain myself.
This dumb thread was started by LL as a direct shot at me for the bait thread in LBs. That thread (bait) was also a joke but he took it the wrong way but hey thats LL he does what he wants. Who am I to argue?

At the end of the day you are over the other side of the county and who cares what I ride and what you ride?

I know I dont give a sh!t


yes can't believe this is still going haha. yes doggie ,a joke, then i thought i would give you as good as i got. then when i backed off, you ungraciously started claiming a win- on here and with those bloody emails of yours.

and so on. kinda hard not to respond when some starts calling you a fag online. see, the truth is you lost the plot

anyway, i'll leave you with your always the last word. just don't email me

Nup, don't rip. Don't want to be adored. I'm probably worse than I think I am, which would be bad because I think I'm a kook.

I agree all boards are dangerous when out of control. Do I agree my 6.5kg SUP is more dangerous than a 9kg Longboard or any other board on the loose? No...

I have no interest in converting anybody to ride anything only to suggest it might be worth opening their eyes that there are many ways have to have fun in the ocean. Nothing more than that. On a personal level I rode shortboards since 11 like most, I started riding other boards when I realised that I missing days in the water and watching perfect 1-2 foot waves from the beach fence and others having fun.

Started with Retro Fishes, went to single fins, then to Mals, then SUP came along so I got one of them to. I still ride shortboards when it suits and to be honest I have never enjoyed surfing more in total. But I guess I gave up thinking every surf was a heat or I had to beat someone a while back as well. It's kind of a turning point most surfers have at some point in my experience.

See i get it easy and i think you are the one having trouble. Although you just answered your own question.
You say as true Ocean lovers / Surfers we should ride all styles Yet you say Jet skiers are nobs, so i can only assume you don't jet ski Well i will tell you the best tube ride i ever got was a full 3 second barrel on my Wave Blaster at the Alkimos, oh and with all the surfers in the water cheering

You see i get it. I surf a short board (try too) i have a stand up that i paddle around on and have a great time in, i boat, i jet ski, water ski, scuba dive, hell i even snow ski, but i won't tell someone else, they should do what i do and if they don't they have no stoke. Which to me is the theme of this thread. Actually i find it humorous but also slightly offensive that some one else should tell me what to do in the water. Then to indicate or imply that because the person advising me of less stoke somehow has more of a opinion because he is a better surfer or RIPS.

I don't take offense from anyone on a forum. To me this is entertainment, i simply think it very amusing that poeple do though
