It's funny cause the last two years, the sups draw a bigger crowd then any other event! Which I thought would be a plus for the organisers.

No one's bagging em, people have asked for feedback why they are not well attended.

Combination of being expensive and no repercharges and the fact they are usually spread over several days.

Plus as far as I can tell from the forums on here and the general vibe in the surf they seem to resent SUP more than SBs.

PS: what ever size board you like, SUP's actually turn so it doesn't matter too much

What does board size have to do with it?

Judging by other threads in here A LOT.

Goatman just some of the comments starting from the Noosa comp over the past couple years,comments like the organizers couldn't give us the time of day,for one.
I've been to a few comps,both tack on's and sup run,from my view the best were the
ones run by sup people for sup people.

Out of respect to longboarders,if sup's are included they should be 9 foot + imo.

Now I fixed your red up for ya

Well if your tagging along in a long running longboard comp,you would get better support from the fat old grumpy longboarders who knows some mite join in
As you know 9+ in LB comps,at least both would have one thing in common

Good....for all those who are whinging its now time to get sup organized. I openly said I was willing to ride whatever size sup is required to compete.

If the longboarder's want to go back to the start and ride 10 footers then people will just have to pump up and ride them. If the sup community can organise sup only events that cater for all sizes then the people who want to compete, pay up, get there and have a go.

I think this subject has been flogged to death. As I said a few months ago I can understand longboarding moving away from sup.

Logging seems to be getting bigger and there's alot of youth riding the boards.

Still would love to hear what direction the bigger name sup company's have for the future of the sport.

Mate haven't seen you in a comp for 15 mths you coming to State this year.

HI Goaty, yeah mate Ill be there. Just had heaps on....joined the married, house (home loan) club LOL.

I just stopped also mainly because of the cost. That's the main reason why Im following post like these. I'd love to get the cost's down. It's clear things like prize money etc aint going to be high. My last event was last yrs supa nsw comp. But had to bail cause of mrs getting food poisoning. be good to see everyone again. Ill be there though with some extra baggage......kid LOL.

oh, it's getting a bit heated in here.

if a mal comp thinks a 10' class might be a good idea and a few of their crew might have a go at it and some sups surfers might be willing to have a bit of fun - let them.

last thing we want to see rabid shorter short sup surfers being marched at gun point to surf a heat on a longer board- the poor bastards
