longboard what?

Why do longboards/longboarders always get written off by shortboarders, I am sick of getting hassled. What has caused this great divide? Is it ignorance? Why is it? and why can't Seabreeze have a longboards section? or even a some longboard info?

So many existential questions, my friend... In them's part, the snobbishness is directed at anyone sailing in lesser conditions, whether lighter winds than them, longboards, beginners. Worse is: they can't do dick themselves when it picks up and they deign going out. That's inland ****er sailors for ya.

I don't get hassled though - I freestyle on both short and longboards, and rub it in their face whenever I can. All in good jest.

So what's the problem again? Are you really getting hassled??

A bit dramatic I admit, should have relaxed before posting.

Perhaps he meant heckled? Hustled?

Were you wearing shorts over wetsuit?

I get pished off by longboarders purely because they catch loads more waves than I do when I'm on my shortboard. They don't share and they paddle out so quickly that I might as well head in.

I think Longboarders will soon get pished off with SUPers because they're catching waves even further out!

As for windsurfing - no idea why there's an isssue!
