if they dont know what they are doing(SUP) its a big problem. but if they do and know how to surf and control the board then its not soo bad, but they also cant be taking all the waves you know. RESPECT to my braddah IKAIKA KALAMA!!! aloha

@637kaala Mutual respect in the water is the key to surfing maintaining its soul. The principles apply to the premier spots like Pipe, the "secret" spots and the beginner spots equally. Heavy Pipe can kill and does so on a regular basis. It is extremely important to be considerate to each other while competing for waves at Pipe regardless if you grew up on that stretch of beach, you are a pro, you have moved to the North Shore chasing world class waves, or you are visiting from somewhere else.

Worst thing for the lineup since the goat boat. Now any beginner can snake all the set waves. I don't see them going away like the goat boats did, these are a real problem.

@StompedAgain SUP at Pipe is fine in my opinion just as long as the SUPer keeps the rules of surfing etiquette and is considerate of everyone else in the water. Mutual respect is essential to maintaining surfing"s soul especially as more and more people take up the sport in its different forms and more and more people are trying to make a living as a surfer and are looking for that life changing epic wave at Pipe captured by a camera. We all need to use good sportsmanship as we compete 4 waves

@ehukai26 actually I did not make that comment. My email and everything else was hacked and I had to change security codes.

No no NO!!! this is WRONG , get OUT of the line up with that thing!!

[ehukai26]

@surfn07 yeah, no kidding! It amazes me how civility often goes out the door in our society today. We need to work to bring back the Aloha spirit. Frustration with crowds and lack of proper etiquette in the water have lead to loosing some of what surfing is all about...having fun and feeling good. When you are in the line up with people who "get it" and who are considerate, surfing is the ultimate way to spend your time.

@rodtemplar…..Its Ikaika Kalama…and I would love to see you say that to his face…you wouldnt have a face after he was done with you.
