Blame laird sup
As a SUP Bozo, I was greatly entertained a few years ago when Bill Barber showed up with his "no SUP Bozo" sticker pictured (above left.)   Bill is amusing in his grumpiness (aren't we all?) and besides, it's a funny sticker!  And Bill went on to explain that SUPing does not automatically a bozo make (you must behave badly on the water.)  The best part of the entire episode was when people went ballistic following a blog post about the sticker in the Puffin, so when Bill showed up with his latest bit-o' SUP-mocking art, I immediately snapped some photos.

    I always think I am using in my grumpiness too, but sadly not everyone shares my sense of humor.

    And this grumpy old geezer typed “using” when he meant “amusing.”

    He (Laird Hamilton) was selling stuff with “Blame Laird” on his website a while back, not sure if it’s still there. He’s in on the joke and is OK with being part of the SUP explosion.
    Don’t be a SUP bozo. It’s OK to sweep, but you’d better know how to surf, know the rules and don’t make-a.
