Jeeezusss!!  Ironically what drew me into SUP was to completely avoid that mess.

That looks like Bali, Sanur... Except it was just myself and one other SUPer and not a single proner...

Well of course no one dropped in on him, as he's doing the typical "SUPing with surfers" move.....heading in the opposite direction of the wave, off into no-man's, whitewater land to go play in the soup.

Doesn't look to be in any hurry to even try to get past that impending "section", to actually get to some "clean water" beyond it, and unless he's afraid to go "backside", I really don't see anything all that wonderful that he's "THE only person surfing in the shot"....as I'm not quite sure what kind of "surfing" he's actually gonna do. :-\

Maybe I'm just bitter not even being allowed out in an area like that where I surf.  Not that I'd really want to be with that many others (surfers or SUPers), but the fact that I couldn't even if I wanted to really bugs me.   >:(

What I'm trying to figure out is why the hell they are paddling out?
