I've tried to get my wife involved in sup'ing...but she won't let me bring my board into the house! And I don't reckon it would fit in the kitchen anyways.







[edit] - I hate when a post that takes the p!ss out of previous comments starts a fresh page...

Why? Spending $600 on a quickbuck aint going to make a difference to her level of enjoyment!

Doggie this is the sup forum,behave yourself and get back on topic

Wasnt me it was you two clowns

Down here in Vicco we have 32 active women in SUP Vic.
And there are a lot participating but not yet signed up.

I think having the bay at our doorstep, SUP is a lot more attractive to women as all they
know is flat water and it's easy for them to get out there.

The best thing is the amount of work people have put into promoting the sport to women.
Dave and Jonathan run "Yummy Mummy" paddle days in the mornings mid week and now
RPS are doing a similar thing from another location. This stuff definitely helps!


p.s. The "Yummy Mummy" term was not used on the day, it's just what the day turned into.

I can't speak for all girls but in my experience I don't go SUPing because it bores the crap out of me. I have been dragged along many times by my seriously addicted partner (who is on this forum as well, but whose name shall remain anonymous to protect the guilty!) I am not afraid of the ocean, I am not afraid of sharks or big waves, and I regularly get out on other craft and love it, but I just didn't get the chip that deludes my brain into thinking that anything about stand up paddle boarding is fun. It may be in the name..."stand up"? Meh, personally I'd rather sit or lie down, and "board" well, that was the word that immediately sprang to mind after my first 20 minutes or so trying to manoeuvre a barge with a teaspoon. It feels inefficient and time-consuming. Maybe a lot of chicks just aren't strong enough in the upper body, but the guy above also has a good point about the boards being too large and heavy for any sane person to want to carry one about.
Anyway, I came clean to The SUPing addict who shall remain nameless the other day, and admitted that I can't stand stand up paddle boarding, and now my board and paddle are for sale on this site :)

Great to see women out there enjoying themselves if thats what they choose ,instead of being dragged along with your partner because they want you involved. Gotta love the ocean, or river for some , i dont think some women are as friendly as men when it comes to sport , guys usually say gday to other newbies in the area (that doesnt mean we want to share waves), women to other women are more territorial / definitely not as welcoming but probably more sincere than a guy. The rules in surfing dont get followed by most women ,probably because most guys are also assholes in the water and this is what they follow when it comes to wave priority. love to see more women/girls out there , just take the blinkers off and have a look on the inside of the wave or who is in the line first , not i will go further out and be ignorant of whose the next wave is . Dont follow the asshole guys doing that /get in line and take a number like the more civilized .
