So many people can Kiteboard, even little kids and old people can do it. I've tried it a few times and I know it's easy and everyone thinks it's cool, but it still just doesn't look very stylish to me. Now Stand Up Paddle, that's where the style is!

Yep, SUP is the perfect styling medium, sort of like on the cat walk.

Pretty sure little children could pick up SUP faster than kiteboarding...

^^^ Only if dad carries it down to the water, if not the kids will pick up kiteboards easier

Q. What do Kiteboards and Stand Up Paddle boards have in common??

A. They both need handles attached to be carried to the beach.

Is that because they cost a rediculous amount for a China pop out?

Kiteboarding is a big deal. You have a wing attached to lines, You can move the wing 160 degrees horozontal and vertical downwind, and with practice you get a smile on your face whatever is under your feet.

SUPs are like that short-tacking asshole in the lineup?

But Kiting just isn't stylish.

I mean look at sups.. you can do a head stand on it. You can dance on it, even host sweet rave parties on it. Picnic on the water! Tell me that ain't mega stylish!

I would SUP and Kite, but not paddle. That's for slow kooks.

Wait, I've come into possession of some inflatable SUPS. Im thinking they must rate. With every downstroke of the pump (and it only takes 20 minutes!) I can feel the style factor increasing exponentially.

Quick tip if you want to get the local girls looking while you SUP is to wear you budgy smugglers over your wetsuit, they go nuts! Just make sure you do 5 laps of the beach to make sure they get a good look.
