Assuming someone is able to ride a surfboard, I'm sure they surf better on a surfboard than they do on a sup.
Stand Up Paddle boards are just that, paddle boards.
Surfboards are just that, surfboards. (No matter what the style)

Check out TC.
That's how you turn a sup!!!

Sorry but i thought looking at this TC video before your post that he was giving up surfing with those kind of boards. He is far away from the champ's radical move i did know. Just a third age serenity longboarding ; i will do it later on , too soon for me

But kami its good surfing. All surfing develops from good technique. not from surfing the shortest board you can stand on.

Every time mick fanning has come back from injury he surfs a mini mal.

Steph surfs a mal at coolie

Yes Lacey, TC shows a good long boarding technique which is different of the short one as mick fanning is doing mal and forget the short as well for a while. They both don't shortboard in those cases.

Sure shortSUP are paddling instable but i like it because it's sticking or closer to the curl. This is made for surfing nor there stand up paddling

No kami you are missing the point. What they show is how to trim and glide which the basis to all surfing. Its what a lot of guys on any really short boards don't have and it really sticks out when they arent good enough. shorter board just shows it up more.

Tc surfs some really nice lines on the bits ive seen on that vid and that comes with a strong sense of glide and trim

Wish I could ride one like him. And I'm prepared to forgive him the shuffle, dogman.

Sure TC is a talented surfer even on that range of paddle board promoted on that video surfing this mellow point break , but i really prefer the Dogman surfing attack as well as the sound which Dogman use to put on its video.
May be, i can ask myself why bother myself with a shortSUP ?, people with sb, lb and bodyboard doesn't respect me thinking it's a easy way because i'm holding a paddle as others making around the peak out of the surfing rules for the most of them..., some shows some respect looking at the few waves i succeed ... i should take bigger board i would have more success raking all the wave i want , gliding more than ripping and bothering others without taking care of this, selfish way no matter
ShortSUP is reducing access to the line up instead of filling it with as much board you can build overseas where cheap laboring ,promote and sell , shortSUP has pain to get satisfaction.
Just a come back to the beginning, that's why i do it

Definitely not me!
SUPing opened me a level a performance that I never reached in my prone years. Not only do I SUP better than I surf, I SUP better at 54 than I surfed at 24...

No bother, just sacrilege and no much dishpans in small waves that day

nice. must say that flex tail works on your board which from memory is wide.


just imagine if you didn't have that paddle in your hand

Up, up, up, down, down, down, couldn't tell what was going on. Vertigo was setting in.

Had i stick rasta color grip on my board, i do think to stay positive this way , it was right to do that specially for you, bros

I thumb you up both of you, you really desserve it


Not me on the board, just a friend Seb from R?union Island who borrowed my board, he take this video to thanks me.

I'll define "surfing" as riding a wave on a board.

Simple physics or hydrodynamics or whatever it is that makes 'boards work will show you that for comparable equipment a surfboard will "surf" better that an SUP.
That's why performance sups are getting closer to surfboard size and design, that's where the best performance is.

TC does look better on a surfboard than an sup.

I'm not talking about the fun factor, wave count or any other reason we ride what we ride. Just the basics of riding a wave.

I love my Dave Mel 7'4x23.75

Paddled two miles distance on it today, plus surfing, for a couple hours total.

Rough conditions are no problem, but not for more than one hour.

Pictured next to my 8'2x26.5.

I' m just frothing about amazed taking off you do with these boards, worth the pain to paddling stood up before

^^ That's a 7'2". I don't think I could have surfed that wave better on a shortboard, even when I was six years younger and riding a shortboard all the time.

Maybe because he wants to use a paddlewhy do you ride boring as bats siht long boards when you could surf a wave a lot better on a shortboard.
