Well like most fads... hopefully this one will pass quickly as most people don't realize how stupid they look out there trying to balance themselves on a fundamentally unstable platform and paddle themselves around - even better make a nuisance of themselves by going into areas of high traffic and chop and yard sale in the way of everyone. Brilliant! So many Darwin award winners in the making.

For now guess we have to put up with them since it's the "thing to do" at the moment.

Even by our group's standards, you've got to be pretty thin skinned to fret about a SUP. It's a silent, no wake, no pollution pastime, and they're almost always hugging the shore. I haven't yet had a stupid or rude SUP pilot in my path, but when I do, I'll be grateful that he's not at the helm of something more powerful.
