Funny sh!t
Standup Paddle Magazine launches: surfers everywhere puke a little
Yep. It’s true. As announced over at SurfersVillage.com, the surfing world has put out another magazine for us self respecting surfers not to buy. Standup Paddle Magazine launched it’s virgin issue this month, ushering in a whole new error of anti-cool. While surfers the world over puke and laugh with disgust, we have an as of yet unconfirmed account of Chris Cote slitting his wrists.
Apparently, the first issue will focus on standup paddle surfing, how to stand prone, how to select a paddle, interior design, floral arrangements and rollerblading with the fellas. It will be a photo spectacular for you to ooh and ah at while waiting for your nails to dry at the salon.
Water Magazine, Drift and Longboard Magazine went under, yet this craptastic magazine get’s launched? Who the hell is advertising in this thing? Are they unaware that they have paid good hard advertising dollars to be showcased alongside a few sea sweepers? What’s next? Webbed Glove Surfing Magazine?
See below for photos from the maiden issue. Enjoy!

I agree — this thing’s dead in the water in less than six months.
Sorry, Laird. But SUP’s suck. Why not just ride in a canoe?
When’s the Hollywood movie coming out about the guy who gets beat up by locals in Hawaii because he’s “different” by being the only one SUPing? And then at the end, he wins the Pipe Masters and everyone “accepts” him while he marries the hot local girl, or something ridiculous. LOL!
Cherry popping shall not take place. A virgin this throwaway shall remain.
SUP riders can grab there special bamboo one of a kind hand carved by a monk in the himalayans paddle and shove it in there butt and get the f out of the line up
In the early ’70’s when I lived in Hawaii/Waikiki, there was Eddie the Hawaiian beach boy who would take a tandem board out in the water with a polaroid camera and take pictures of tourists surfing for $5.00 for several pics. He used a canoe/outrigger paddle to paddle out. He made a decent income, and was the only one doing it at the time before inexpensive water proof cameras, and also before anybody was SUP surfing.
So what’s the big deal all you “WHINERS?!” There’s plenty of waves to go around cry babies! “GET OVER IT!”
SUPing is for g@ys
Both Laird Hamilton and Andy Irons, in interviews with us, said that SUPing is not a big deal, but weren’t surprised that it is a big deal in SoCal and other crowded breaks.
Those of you who put down the sport probably couldn’t even do it. Most likely a bunch of local bullies who trash other surfers cars, start fights in and out of the water, and bottom line, think you own the ocean. Get a life and don’t surf my Nor Cal breaks.
With the demise of a large number of mags, I really find it hard to believe that there would be enough of a demand for a mag of its own
almost as lame as bodyboarding
UPDATE: Due to poor circulation sales and the possessing the same target demographic, ‘OUT’ and ‘SUP’ magazine have decided to become one publication “OUTSUP”.
Look for it on newsstands in hair salons starting next month.
GA’s on point! The reason SUPing often looks so gay is that it’s really hard to make it look good. You whiners have tried it, right??? I surf Cardiff Reef daily and somehow I’m getting along just fine with a LARGE number of SUPers. Maybe it’s because I can turn and whiners can’t..? Yep, that’s it.
I’m getting my lifetime subscription, love it!
You SUP haters are so sad….really….I feel sorry for you that you discriminate and that you’re so selfish and close minded and think your way is the only way. I SUP SoCal, NorCal and Hawaii and I just smile and say “hi” whenever I get any kind of ‘tude and try and spread the SUP love. And yes OMG I’ve even converted some of you, yes some of you haters actually liked it, imagine that!
homophobia is not cool.
