I am a mixed bag of opinions on SUP. Definitely in California, if you are stand up paddling and there is somebody surfing next to you, it’s not right. You need to paddle down the beach; otherwise you can almost guarantee wave hogging.
On the other hand, both of my parents use stand up paddleboards in the harbor for exercise and fun. I see nothing wrong with that! But maybe I am just avoiding the change…
Is stand up paddling the future of surfing? Whoa…the jury is out.
