Just some good old days friendly banter PT Woody.

I am now officially inspired
I really need to get off my 4'11 and come up with a better way to pump up and down through the white wash
I think I have a way to be the pronest of the prone
It brings me back to a conversation I had with Laird back in 99 in the fields of Maui.
While discussing the intricacies of riding mountains Laird had mentioned that to call one self a true water man one had to master all crafts possible in the line up.
This meant that the 4'11 had to go
Keeping in mind Lairds advice I need to improvise to keep ahead of the crowds.
I had another light bulb moment while being served my caramel soy latte. The lady behind the counter mentioned that I haven't made much use of my brooker v12 tinny lately and that my waterman shirt was starting to fade.
Thats it, time to get started
Putting all pieces of the puzzle together I have decided to convert my beloved tinny into tinny foil.
I plan to install a foil on the under side of the tinny and extend my Yamaha enduro 40 hP engine so I can ride through the dead sections of those pesky 1 to 2 ft close outs that I often see at Trigg point.
I was also given an old pair of snow board boots that Laird stole off Gerry Lopez that I plan to bolt down in the centre of my tinny. This should ensure maximum stability on take off.
Not sure if I need a sea sweeper broom stick but time will tell. Maybe I can source a length of carbon fibre conduit from Kai Lenny next time I'm in Maui.
Cant wait for the weekend
I also haven't decided if I'm calling my new pursuit Tinny Foil or just Tin Foil but one things for sure. Your not going to out prone old Tim Kay.
See you in the line up.

So in walks doof vader and buddies.
Tooo much coincidence, we've all been set up and fell into the trap of the darkside.
Oh well, may be next year more vigilant we will be.

What would Laird do? We need our Savior to step in and save us

Just last weekend, I witnessed an angry old fart on a long board grab and flip the board of one of our SUP crew while they were both on the same wave. Granted the SUP surfer did technically drop in but this is a party wave location that is 95% SUP, and this long boarder came from way out the back linking a wave from off the point - good for him that he managed to catch such a long ride.

My only point is this - you can't go around accusing SUPs of being big and dangerous, and then do something as potentially hazardous as flipping a 10'+ board when it is on the wave right next to you. How many ways could that board roll over and hit you hard or impale you with a fin? Karma practically demands it.

SUPpers like you to pull their heads out of their collective arses, go back to flat water paddling you tool

Laird needs a good kick in the balls.......

You're so cute when you talk dirty.

Typical dumb attitude, its why you guys are hated so much. You must like it, kinky....

You know you love it.

...I think we all need to take ourselves a little less seriously...

Only reasonable post in this entire thread.

Avrige ride lengths ,about the same as a short board.
not bad for a bunch of beginners, but no life jacket ??

I genuinely feel scared for them every time they fall
Should of stuck to Tin Foiling

Really guys the original post was just a joke , how did you not get that ? Just let it die and get your GoPro out and share the stoke. FMD don't reply to this and post some stoke . Isn't this what Seabreeze is about.

You can all laugh at my stoke! After snapping my archillies twice last year and not being able to surf for the past year, I was determined not to let my moonboot or injury stop my suping in the Philippines!

the only way I can technically be allowed to surf for another 5 months is to wear my full moonboot in the water and surf waves on my sup on it.
i frequently get comments like 'do you have a bionic leg', 'f**k the doctor bro' etc. the irony is priceless when I'm passing by those proners sitting there not able to catch anything despite being crippled haha.

"Kai Lenny laughs when I ask him about this debate. "I've had this conversation with a lot people," he says. Lenny looks at it like this: prone surfers don't realize how effective of a tool a SUP can be. Like Hamilton, Lenny is a genuine waterman. He excels at surfing and at SUP, and has won championships for his SUP surfing and long-distance SUP races, too. To watch him surf Jaws is a masterclass in riding big waves-regardless of board type."When you're already standing up, you can take off on waves much later, you can really stall and put yourself in more critical positions," he says. "When it's windy and surfers get spray in their face, you're above all that. When you have a paddle in your hand, it acts like a crutch. If you hit chop and you're going to fall, you can put the paddle in the water and catch yourself. And you can give yourself one more stroke to catch the wave or use it to pivot the board around the paddle."Lenny says being up high also lets him see waves materializing further out, allowing him to get into position earlier. "When people see me paddle toward the horizon, they immediately start following now," he says.

Kai says it best, we're above it all and surfers are getting sprayed in the face.
