Writing off the old guy out the back on a 10 foot plus SUP who has been floating out there for the last half hour. Set comes in, I don't look out for him and I take off.
How is this possible? I'm genuinely curious. I try to avoid calling waves as much as possible. Why should I? If I'm in position I'm only going to paddle if I'm pretty damn certain I'm going to make it. Give me some credit. And if I paddle, I am fully aware of my surroundings and who might have priority. I often spend 3/4 of the paddle looking around my position, side to side, over my shoulder, etc. So why, when I do have priority, why do people drop in "just in case I don't go/make it" or "with no idea I was there"? Why do they even paddle at all? Why should I call like a mad grommet? Have some respect, give the guy in position a chance. If he blows it, that's it, down the ladder he goes. But it amazes me how many people give the "clueless" look, "sorry best mate, didn't see you". Or they blow your first section, "sorry maaate, just wanted to see if you made it". WTF?
You can always count on Legion to completely avoid the thread topic and once again give us all a lesson on the "rules" of the water. Thanks again for the great contribution.
Back on topic, for me it was leaving my fins on the ground in the carpark as I loaded my board on the roof of my car after picking it up from the shop in sheer excitment.
