I have SUP'd Gerroa quite a few times and found the locals to be nothing but friendly, I guess there is always the risk that some idiot will spoil things but hopefully Mr Overit wont be out in the water .

You are correct, gregc drives a Skoda

For arguements sake, just say it is minuted somewhere.

The next step is that the surf school will want to teach the ever increasingly popular SUP surfing. What happens to the ban then?

Rather than looking at the symptom, they should be looking at the underlying problem, i.e. people disrupting surf-lessons or endangering the participants - they should be the ones banned for safety reasons and the type craft they are currently riding is irrelevant.
