Why do longboards/longboarders always get written off by shortboarders, I am sick of getting hassled. What has caused this great divide? Is it ignorance? Why is it? and why can't Seabreeze have a longboards section? or even a some longboard info?
There already is a longboard forum based in AUS:http://www.lbwindsurfing.com/forum/
Or have a look at the journal.

Who is hassling you? I don't think I have ever seen a windsurfer hassling another windsurfer in Australia about their gear, unless it was in jest.
If I had the space to store a wally I would get one.
I get pished off by longboarders purely because they catch loads more waves than I do when I'm on my shortboard. They don't share and they paddle out so quickly that I might as well head in.
I think Longboarders will soon get pished off with SUPers because they're catching waves even further out!
As for windsurfing - no idea why there's an isssue!
