I would encourage all SUP riders to get involved in street SUP
That way they can stay out of the lineup .....
........and the rest of us wont have to worry about SUP riders who ditch their boards whenever a decent wave looms.
Stand Up Paddleboarding = SUP yeah yeah no worries there I get that even though it turns you gay.
Standing on a longboard skater with a long stick in your hand hmmm......
Stand Up Stick Skating = SUSS
How about a little tolerance ? how about giving it a go ? heaps of my mates thought it was lame till they tried it at corona- now 4 of them have poles...
We as kiters were the original rollerbladers of the ocean and listen to us mouthing off like we are the cool kids.
It's great fitness, awesome fun and makes skating accessible to all- so if that's lame then lame is the new awesome !
Ha you pay out rollerbladers loverboy when the guys who push the limits of rollerblading have way more balls then anyone in kiteboarding.......
meh- water off a ducks back lads....I still have a set of rollerblades and I still use them...just think you're being a little harsh on the street sup
Re: Street SUP - I don't know if you're taking the piss or not.
Please tell me you are taking the piss.

i would have too agree with you on this one loverboy i went to corona and did the street sup leg in the relay and had a ball its always good to try new things you might even like it. i kite,skate ,surf and snowboard its just an extra thing you can do when there is no wind or snow. as for people like SIR..... what ever his name is he has a go at everything judgeing from all his posts does he ever leave the house was he at corona no he was probley sitting at his computer waiting to criticize someone else.
.....
Some peoples minds are closed.
Some people are too cool for the rest.
Some people miss out on fun.
it just seems so pointless to use a stick to propel yourself skating when you have two perfectly good legs with feet attached which work 10 times more efficient.
its just plain silly...someone just wants to sell some sticks!

sometimes you don't need to try it to know its wrong (eg getting intimate with your mum, licking a public toilet seat, street SUP)
Thats Gold Right there! Can't argue with such a valid point. Convinced me that little voice in my head was right and not to bow to peer group pressure!
