I might suggest that out of the surf zone we are considered vessels. 

The boaters need to remember when overtaking another vessel to stay clear as the overtaken has priority.

The paddlers need to learn to stay out of a channel used for navigation and not impede traffic.  Maybe a paddler should have a whistle and know that 5 toots is the danger signal.

Has sup become the bastard child that everyone hates?
