This is a rare internet address where the average age is around 50.  I changed my screen name from Slow Old Jim a while back when I was relatively young comparitively.  A curmudgeon title on a 35 year old is bound to cause a cackle or two.  This has been an interesting and informative thread in a sad and misguided sort of way.

Then I chose my words well ;D  What comes to mind in instances like this is Arlo Guthrie's line about all FBI agents being over
Obfuscation through elucidation

If I'm not mistaken, those shots were taken before the re-birth of SUP. So he's not stand up paddling, he's just surfing "beach-boy style". ;D

Solipsistic soup with a lot of non-sequiturs.  Acid, indeed!

If anything, these shots were taken at the very birth of the re-birth.  Regardless, isn’t “beach boy” surfing the roots of SUP?

Yes S4F, I think you are right, "beach boy surfing" is the same as SUP.

I think the only real difference is back when it was referred to as “beach boy” surfing, the paddle was only used for propelling the rider into the wave rather than lying or kneeling prone.  Once the wave was caught the rider simply surfed the board (which was an actual surf board and not a specially made paddle board) in the normal fashion like any other surfer and just sort of held onto the paddle.  Now the paddle is very much used even while riding the wave.

Sorry S4F, I was actually attempting to be funny by implying that Tudor was too cool for SUP.

In any event, my understanding of “beach boy surfing” is simply that the beach boys of Waikiki resurrected traditional stand up paddling as a means to take pictures for the tourist without getting their cameras (Brownies) wet.

"Those shots" were taken by yours truly, on 7/23/14. He said his back had been bothering him and it was less painful to surf his boards this way.

His dad gets out on a Sup when it's really flat.

Great, maybe JT can be the SUP community star-witness for an ADA argument...
