Laird

A SUP has better name...."twat yacht". Not originally from me; came from a guy who used to post on nesurf.com which now sucks as a forum site. Used to be ok when I posted on it a few years ago, but it got taken over by a californian loser. Ces't la vie....

 

o barry

you were on NEsurf!?!?

 

The first time I saw one, it was Laird Hamilton. He picked up a wave breaking on the outside reef, at an ultra-secret spot, from a nice south swell, and cruised all the way in to the inside reef. I had to duckdive under him as a couple of strokes kept him on the backing-off wave until it reformed on the normal lineup.

I never thought much about SUP'ers in those days. I used to call them "Lairdlings" because there were 2-3 guys who would paddle out on logs with paddles, emulating Laird. They weren't as big, blonde, tan or buff. Laird was easy to recognize because he, no homo, looks like f-ing Zeus. Especially standing on a 12' airplane wing when you're sitting 3' out of the water.

Sup is fine if you know how to do it and show respect. The lineups where I see them, they do a pretty good job of self-regulating and aren't total wave hogs.

Tow-ins and especially hydrofoil tow-ins are totally ghey tho.

 

HaHa! I don't know who's ass is nicer?!?

 

Yes, yes I was....you??

if it was 30 years ago sups were around and I could get away with it,ill just start blasting a double barrel sawed off at the nose of those sups.

POTC

Post of the century

 

btw....

 

Also......this is the only questionable thing Slater has ever done in my eyes......could have done without this image.

 

This some metard-level shizz right there. I think if you can incorporate Roy and a boggieboarding cat you'd be contending for POTY.

 

LOLZ

Just lurked there man o barry.

I love it too fellers, but can't take credit, poached from the erBB.

But metard...you wanna throw Roy in there, and my booger kitty in there to make it a royal clusterfock of drop-ins?

Messed up my neck a couple weeks back so really couldn't do much paddling or pop up but had to get in the water for this past weekend's waves in SoJerz. So i hopped on the wife's 10'6 SUP. I am no Laird but competent so was a bit annoyed when a local "pro" dropped in on me. Another guy in the lineup remarked on it , it was so bad. He didn't make eye contact after when I was near but I wasn't going to push it. A little while later, he starts to do it again. I firmly told him not to drop in on me a second time and he pulled off. Afterwards i paddled by to inform him not to mistake me for the other SUP, who was a gumby. We had no other issues, although he did drop in on my nephew about 5 minutes after he showed up. As noted earlier, its not the board, its the rider.

That being said, anyone who tries to paddle a SUP directly out into the lineup should be abused since they are a menace if a set comes through while inside. Later on the weekend saw one SUPer cut the legs off another and the wife almost took out a surf school. Both were pretty darn funny.

Another advantage was a better view of the little sharks in the lineup without dangling my toes as bait I made sure to keep everyone posted about their location and presence in the hope that someone would bail and clear some space

 

Bump because awesome.
