I have been watching a lot of shortboarding lately with the events and a couple of new release movies.
It occurred to me what I personally think is lacking from many surf SUP. It's called a bottom turn. A lot of people for one reason or another turn mid face or wiggle.
I am no pro whatsoever but the thing I really like in between my shortboards and SUP is that on a SUP you can drive to the bottom further out onto the flats of the wave and really lean the board over onto its rail. I even set my boards up so that they do this without having to nurse the turn at all. For me this is the best bit about riding SUP.
Then I seen this pic today. It pretty much sums up what I like about surf SUP.
