Here is a small refresher for those of you who have forgotten or simply never knew these rules exist.
As someone who regularly stand up paddle surfs around Cottesloe WA (for anyone that doesn't know the waves here are small, weak and overcrowded) I am constantly amazed by how many sup surfers have total blatant disregard for the timeless rules that help to ensure everyone in the lineup has a good time.

People please please try and show some respect for other water users. The behaviour of a few reflects very badly on stand up paddlers as a whole and contributes to a very negative vibe in the water.

I am not claiming to be perfect everyone accidentally (and sometimes purposely) slips up and prone surfers of all sorts certainly aren't perfect either but having sups come through and consistently show complete disregard for any form of order in the lineup is just going to hurt our sport in the long run.
