SUP's ruining North End of CB

Oh cool another rant about SUP'ers. And look he actually made an account just to do it.

 

I surf there all the time and I have never had a problem with the SUP crew. There all cool and actually spot the sets way out and let me take them. A positive attitude is essential any where you surf.

 

I'm 40 something and just purchased a 6'1. Between that and my fish I've logged 8 hours in the last 3 days. Guess I should've checked the inbox for the turn 40 buy a boat memo.

 

hey cb surf guy, and bet you a 100 that a 40 something yr. old tri athlete would kick your bad attitude punk a$$...sorry if i offended anyone, but someone like that just pisses me off...by the way im 51 yrs old and logged more hours, most likely, he has been alive...its all about stoke

 

I ride SUP's all the time in Hawaii. Fun on a nice rolling wave.

 

Everybody jumping on the guy for his obvious ignorance, but the kicker in the fine print is the fact that CB has NO JETTIES much less a jetty on the North End. HA!

btw, best swell I have ever surfed on Pleasure Island ever on Sunday. Only time I stepped foot on CB was to eat a fresh Mahi sandwich at Surf House.

 

You have obviously never rode a SUP, Stop *****ing about it. If you don't like where they're at go down the beach some.

 

SUPers unite! Us yuppies have evolved into a lean, mean, carbon fiber sweeping machine! We must destroy the prone surfer with our collective floating might! We are taking over, set by set, peak by peak. If you can't afford the high price of evolution, get out of our way. We have every right to conquer you. Go cry in your spilled milk and leave the line-ups to us haggard old, sun hat wearing, shorts over wetsuit styling, squat thrusting, Croakies on Oakly's, extreme over the hill athletes who love including SUP to our adventure repotoire... like kayaking and cross word puzzles! Old dogs rule! See you at the north end jetty.?.

 

I don't know...I surfed there Sunday and had no problem getting waves, set or otherwise. Maybe you aren't out there as often as you think CB Surf Guy. Guys know each other out there. Prolly like you know your own regular spot. Go back there.

 

You owe me a new keyboard and monitor. Should have put a warning before this post for those who read it while sipping coffee. I must go netti pot now....

 

I'm pretty sure that the groin north of the pier doesn't count as a jetty

 

Never had a problem with the SUPers at CB. I'm ancient. I'd own an stand up paddle board for flat days to stay in shape so I look good in my pink unitard; if I had a place to store it. Getting an 8'6" up and down three flights of stairs and storing it in a one bedroom condo along with my sons' boards is tough enough. Erock, Surf House gives Paddle board lessons AND serves good eats. Actually I'm looking for a Mini Simmons for days when I'm too weak to to carry a long board to the beach.

 

i agree with the punk kid or whatever. truth is the SUP is a huge shortcut to being able to get into waves and being able to surf something you havn't put the time in for if you were paddling. and you guys have no etiquette. absolutely no etiquette. it is certainly not all about "stoke." thats the problem with kooks. you guys think its all "cool" because everyone is just a laid back surfer. no no no. for the most part we are all agro and if you tried that **** in other places in the world you would find yourself with a busted face and a broken board. the bigger problem is that no one calls you out for it. you guys sit outside wait for the biggest sets, try your best to navigate your kookass through the lineup as everyone grumbles and dodges your death trap. its about time for some people to tell you to take your small watercraft back to the beach or sweep yourself down the beach. you guys aren't surfers and your so far from being a waterman you have no clue. you guys are like sponges. but at least sponges know how to pull into the pit. you're dangerous and you don't even realize it. if you see a crowd take you damn boat somewhere else before you kill someone with it. or better yet. LEARN HOW TO SURF THE RIGHT WAY. yeah ..>THE RIGHT WAY. stab and dodge..stab and dodge.

 

Right, that's what I said.... that thing is barely even a groin

 

CB surf guy is selling me on his position.... I know Laird Hamilton rides them and he can kill most humans, but I think SUPs look stupid and are dangerous to those of us young and old on our surfboards. I guess they are good for staying in shape, but what is wrong with old fashioned swimming when it is flat or running and lifting weights? Bottom line, if you can't control your SUP or your surfboard, stay away from crowded lineups please.

 

Exactly how were "kooks" able to 'hog set waves' from you?

 

doesnt really matter what you ride a wave hog is a wave hog and a kooks a kook. I can catch waves just as easy on a longboard as i can on a sup. sups are great on small mushy days when i wouldnt paddle out on a shortboard. Should they be in a crowded lineup when its firing, probably not.
