The problem with the sitdowns is they tend to go very fast North and South up and down the beach, while the stand ups are going towards and away from the beach (east and west) much slower.
Anything moving that fast in VERY CROWDED surf, going the opposite direction of everyone else is dangerous. :shocked:The Sitdowns really scare me in the surf. They are so big and heavy and can't slow down quick enough. I have been hit by stand ups before and it is not a big deal. A sitdown doing 35mph could kill me.
