That thing came up on my local craigslist. I hope someone would just send it to the recycling center. Motorized vessels have their uses, just not where people come to enjoy the nature be it a surfing break or serene freshwater lake for kayaking and sailing.
Some of the SUPers are the ones who has decided to take the easy way because it's too much work to paddle, to hard to learn the correct technique for surfing, water is too cold... And that mentality shows up in other aspects to shape a jerk on water. I'm not against all things SUP, and I see a few at my break on small days who are perfectly normal, but I suspect they really are surfers but SUP depending on the wave condition. The rest, the ones that come out once the water is warmer, they are all over the map. I try to stay far enough away from them as most of them don't have very good board control. I sure don't want to be in a target range of their 30lb board or their handheld stick.
