So here's my question:
if you are sitting, waiting for waves, minimal lateral movement for whatever reason & here comes a set....you start paddling & yes, this is a good one & yes you're right where you want to be....but all of a sudden, the SUP guy who has been trolling further out, back & forth he goes 30-40 yards at a time, pushes in to where you are & steps right into that wave & you have to bail or else you're going to drop in on his arse.....
Am I missing something here ?
I always thought the term for this behavior was 'snaking' the lineup. Like, if a guy on a surfboard did this he'd pay a price. However, I see it happen all the time with SUP pilots. And no one says, or does, anything.
And, yes, it really pissed me off. To the point where I'm actively thinking that next time screw him, I'm going & if he has a problem with it after we collide he can deal with my straight right to the beak.
I'm not kidding. I can back it up.
But, maybe I am out of it ? What is your opinion here...?
Is snaking, snaking ?? Or are SUP guys exempt because they have this mobility that puts them in the wave so quickly ?
