I found this quote from Laceys Lane in another post that I did not want to hijack so I'm starting a new post here on the subject. Here is his quote

"- I'm not sure any sup belongs in any decent surf little lone a 12'6".-

This not taken out of context and I took it at face value and felt that I had to respond.
I have surfed for over 50 years on all kind of boards and now I surf a SUP.
I ride what I want, were I want and when I want. Nobody has the right to tell me what I should or should not be riding. Personally I am surprised and disappointed at what seems to be a divisive statement.
