Not sure what you are getting at, should we grab a ticketed number and wait in turn as we would at the Deli counter.
What he is getting at is someone on a sup with no surf background usually paddles for every bump that comes through. This behaviour usually alienates other people in the water.
Follow greenies rules posted before he is the master of being invisible. I just usually drop in on him though
Here's some more Confucian 'rules' for the Cott:
- only surf during work hours - otherwise you are likely to be even more disappointed than you already would have been
- the 'telephone box' is not there, but if you are a beginner, that's where you should be
- enjoy the view and just being on the ocean, have a yarn - there is great merit in nothingness and wavelessness
- question why you are so committed to surfing that you are prepared to surf the Cott - perhaps frisbee golf might be more rewarding
- convert your car to gas and make the time to travel to anywhere but the Cott - the world will be a better place.
8. DON'T BE PREJUDICED All surfers have an equal right to their fair share of the waves. Surfing has no room for prejudice.
Don't pre-judge anyone based on their sex, age, appearance, the surf craft they ride, their colour, race or religion. Every surfer
deserves your respect, so long as they follow the rules.
Don't drop in or be a wave hog.
That about covers it all doesn't it...
Porka, read rule #8, then read it again.
Keep reading this rule till you actually understand it.
Beat me to it Bnaccas, got to learn to type faster.
hang on .........
are we talking about the same place, where the old guy, on the big mal, cries out to all his troops...." AAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL ABOARDDDDDD" when a wave comes in 
it's just like the circus at retirements....
cant wait to get back......and drop in on g room

I'm well aware of it Jenkz. I'm more than happy to share waves with anyone out there on whatever craft... wave riding is a great feeling that everyone should experience. But also from #8, there was a lack of respect, and a lack of following the rules from 90% of the guys out there.
Thats good to hear Porka that you are happy to share waves with anyone on any craft.
But I think you are preaching to the converted on this forum. The guys your talking about probably never visit this forum.
I surf Cott alot and have never seen any agro. I have seen some snaking and the odd inexperienced SUP but nothing compared to the drop ins mals and shorties do to themselves even before it gets crowded.
I disagree with your 90%.
If I saw someone droping in snaking and being a health hazzard I would be the first to back you up and say something and I'm pretty sure everyone on this forum would also no matter what craft they are on.
Talking of health hazards! please use a board leash, nearly got someone else’s starboard wrapped around my neck!
Why do you all say "Cott" when you're not talking about Cott at all? I'm sure this problem is "isolated" to one break unless the SUPs have spread further afield.
Apart from some "isolated" places, I thought the general feeling around Cott is pretty good.
More often than not if there are any SUPs getting a heavy handed then there is a quiet word and everyone continues on.
Well this brings rule #10 into play.
Know your limitations.
All for sharing waves around and not upsetting anyone, but why do people persist in trying to catch mushy powerless waves on shortboards at this isolated spot.
Use the right board for the job.
And I agree that anyone not wearing a legrope should be chatted to when surfing around others.
