Cant say ive ever made a wave crumble either , that must be a neat trick.

You obviously haven't been surfing long? Doesn't matter whether you have a board or are bodysurfing, someone dropping in to a wave makes it crumble. Look at some pictures or videos of people in the act of taking off and you'll clearly see the wave breaking from them catching it.

If it's a fat mushburger it might actually make a section for the person to bounce off (as long as they're not going to hit the dropper-inner). But in more critical waves it can mean a lip on the head for the person in position. Or for someone who takes off deep, it can (and often is) the difference between making the wave and not making the wave. You calculate how deep you can make it, take off and suddenly someone way out on the shoulder crumbles a whole section that would've otherwise held up and you can't make it around the foam and that's the end. Happens to me all the time. Dropping in on the shoulder then pulling out is already too late - you've already crumbled the wave by dropping in. This happens all the time, people don't give the guy with priority any consideration. The way it should be is that you don't even paddle for a wave if someone else is in priority position. If they blow it (on a set wave), they go to the back of the line. If they blow it again, all bets are off and you can drop in to your heart's content. If you blow two set waves you should probably think hard about paddling in, or to another peak (with your tail between your legs). People dropping in just in case the person inside don't make it sucks. I never paddle for someone else's wave.

^ + 1

You're probably alright, but keep an eye on the effects of your dropping in. If it causes someone to not make the wave, best not to do it again if you want to keep the peace.

In that photo it's a mushburger wave. I'd almost guarantee the wave wouldn't have broken outside the guy in priority if not for the dropper-inners. And yet because of them the guy in priority will have about a 6-8m section of whitewater to negotiate, made a little more tricky by the guy paddling out/duckdiving and the booger who's going to have to fade around the duckdiver and therefore fade the guy in priority.

By the time the dropper-inners (esp. the booger) pull out, the whole first section of that wave will be wasted for that guy.

I was at the Alley on SUP one day and I accidentally dropped in a guy who ripped. I pulled off immediately and apologised profusely. He said he was spewing I pulled off as I was making the best lip for him to smack. He also said he was worried when I paddled out as you never know what kind of danger you'll be in with most SUP riders.

That arvo we worked as a team he took off inside I took the shoulder, I would switchfoot and sit 3/4 face and watch him do airs, tailslides and belt the crap out of this lip that was forming from the tail of my board. I wish I had a camera for it, it was an amazing experience to ride along and watch it from this close.

Most guys are 'cheating' they can't surf on a normal board and the SUP helps them skip the pain of learning. These guys however will still always be kooks, there arent too many shortcuts to do things truly worth doing.

Maybe the guy on the inside had already stuffed 2 waves up and this was the free for all wave.

F U C K the shoulder i say go sit deep!!! if they have a whinge just fade them till they go in, they'll get the hint. Free ocean in my books i dont give a rats if you think you own it. The only people i have had blow up are KooKy old long boarders and really who cares what they say[}:)][}:)] See you boys in about a week!!!

E.g. look at this:





An example of the wave crumbling from people catching it, and also an example of extremely bad etiquette. The two dropper-inners should never have paddled for that wave. The guy in position is clearly going to make it (unless he's a monumental kook) and the other two are just rude and deserve a verbal spray. Quite often people do that without even looking inside themselves - no care at all, no manners.

Are you alone again legion

Just thinking about what I said about being way out on the shoulder.. and out of the way.

You still need to watch what you doing and not like this long boarder in this vid at the 5.12 mark.. .. How pissed off did that little guy look.

It's a great vid from Tom English and worth watching just for the fun of it.
