The act of surfing requires that you stand up. If you stand up, you are surfing.
I have no respect for somebody who wants to put flippers on, lay prone while riding waves, clutch their little sponge with a death grip, and claim they're surfing. F*&K OFF!
Trying to stand up while dropping down the face of a wave will always be WAY harder to do than simply laying there, splashing yourself into a wave and thinking you're ripping.
So no, I'd never take a sponger to ANY surf spot.
No, I'd never let my friends see me hanging around with a sponger.
If you sponge you've taken the easy way to become a waverider.
That is what you are, a waverider. Never a surfer.
