Noted Stand Up Paddle (SUP) basher Chris Coté, he who coined the term ?Stick Twirler? and ?Sea Janitor? has been caught red-handed in his hometown of Encinitas, California doing just the activity he has launched many a venomous attacks upon?Stand Up Paddle Surfing.

Much like the famed George H. Bush line ?No new taxes!? and Rafael ?I have never used steroids? Palmeiro, Chris broke ranks (and an oath to congress in Palmeiro?s case) and gave the much debated-upon pastime a go. ?It was killer. It was really irie being with nature and the vantage point of said nature was even more irie,? he noted from his red gold and green cubicle Monday.

As for his future in the sport? ?I?m sure that if I tried it one or two more times I could go pro, but right now I?m just trying to figure out why they?re not showing ping-pong in the Olympics.? It should be noted that Chris was once driven to tears as a child when his older brother (the same one who offered him $5 to insert his pecker into a sea anenome?he did it and I never paid) forcibly dragged him to the outside reef at Seaside when he was 13 years old.
