I put this post as a reply to one of DavidJohn's posts, and a comment was that it was hijacking , so i will bring it as a separate post.

Re Pic's from todays big island hoping paddle.

Great post Dave and only 6 pimps for SHQ.

You are a great poster Dave (4097) but your obvious forum pimping for SHQ cheapens your stories and turns them into advertorials.

Any body else doing the same thing wound have their post pulled by Laurie.

The only reason someone has a shop brand on a product like a paddle or board is to advertise them, paid or unpaid it is still pimping.

Not very UN biased for the president of SUPVIC, more like a paid marketer.
4097 posts and over 500 pics of an SHQ logo.

I am sure everyone will come to your aid and call this reply sour grapes, but the rules are rules and how can one man keep doing this and no one says anything.

So i am asking you DavidJohn, how about you stop pimping for business and just write great stories about the wonderful things you get up to.

Naish is a brand (SUP related)
Kialoa is a brand (SUP related)
Oakley is a brand (sport related)
Seabreeze is a forum (sport related)
SUP VIC is a SUP club (SUP related)
SHQ is a shop that sells equipment to people for $$$$ (Business related)

I am sure you will come back with "not me, i don't know what you are talking about, blah blah"

More great posts please but with less promo for the brands, would be nice!
