SUPs are nice enough
Posted by: NewbTastic on Oct-06-12 10:41 PM (EST)

SUPs are pretty cool and will definitely be around for many years to come.

That said, they do have certain limitations compared to sea kayaks... speed, load-carrying, making good headway in very rough water, and all-day comfort (for me anyway- I don't like standing all day long, and kneeling isn't any better).

So I doubt sea kayaks are going away either. 'Right tool for the right job' and all that.
