Another Great Wave Spot (Enquentro) has been closed to Paddle Boarders...why?
1. Hurt feelings in the "pack" on the "peak".
2. Probably not the best place to paddle board.
3. Surf posse didn´t appreciate the SUP crowd.
The Enquentro SUP crew moved up to the Kite Beach, which they quickly realized is a much better set of SUP Breaks. So how to keep things cool on the SUP Break?
1. Understand the Map and give some Aloha to the people who produced the Map. A simple rule in SUP, if you don´t understand the map, take a lesson. This Map was created by methodlodge.com
2. Wave Count....if you catch all the waves you go for have fun challenging the pack at the peak. If someone doesn´t like it, too bad. If you catch half the waves you go for move closer to the channel until you get your wave count and percentage up. Once you are nailing everything feel free to hassle for the peak. If your percentage is low stay on the edge of the channel. This is the quickest way to get good. Most of all BE HONEST with yourself, keep count of the waves you are going for and the ones you caught. This alone will make you a better wave rider.
