Perhaps it's like road cycling.  Once upon a time there was nothing less cool than a die hard cyclist decked out in all the tight lycra, and now it's considered uber hip.

Does this answer your question?
It takes a quiver to do that.

I think teenagers and early 20-somethings determine what is cool right?? After consulting with them I have determined that the cool sports are as follows:

skateboarding (longboarding not included)
snowboarding (not big mountain free-riding)
skiing(half-pipe/slopestyle/freeride)
wakeboarding (not wakesurfing)
surfing(shortboard only). Logging and retro are hip but not core. There is a difference between hip and cool(core).
bmx(not racing)
mtn bike(not racing)
motocross(freeride)

Anything with a go-big or jib factor is cool(kiteboarding/windsurfing excluded). Anything that shows your "steeze" is pretty cool. Weasels wake is Steezy. Wait till the kids catch on SUPQin!!!

 Damn right it's cool.

 I've turned into a virtual chick magnet since I've taken up the sport.

um... My gut tells me this picture should reside in the HCWSUPbs thread, but "Where's Waldo red pant Douche" is pulling me in the other direction. ..

No offense Weasels Wake, if that is you.... and actually... if it is you... mad props with your bad ass grill session and your sleeveless rad a tude!

There is absolutely nothing I do that is cool. After a week with four grandsons I can say that definitively. The only thing about me that is cool, apparently, is scars. I didn't acquire any of them on purpose, but I was told by a teenage girl that scars are cool and sexy.

So I got that going for me.

I think it's kinda cool however there aren't a whole lot of people in central PA who have even seen one.  The parking lot at work (guess which car is mine).  Weren't parachute pants once cool?  BTW, my Camry.......definitely not cool.

SUP will never be cool.  That's what's so great about it.
