Yup. I don't get SUPs either. You see people screwing around, going nowhere, with them on all the local ponds. It's such a poor way to get around.

From what I see around Victoria (BC), you are missing the point.
With a SUP you get to stand up and show off your perfect body, wear casual surfer-type clothes (bare midriff essential to show off those abs!), and don't have the EXTREMELY un-cool problems of PFD, immersion clothing, safety gear, etc..
However on a lot of SUPs, you can strap a soft cooler with some brewskis right to the deck of the board.
What could be better?
;-)
And if the wind/tide/current blow you away from shore, (who knew??) you can call for help with your smart phone.
