Wash Riding in SUP Men 14'??

Did anyone think 1st and 2nd in the SUP Mens 14' were wash riding the lead boat which was their sponsor?? Saw some photos and video footage and a few competitors were talkng about it. Is this allowed. Let me know your feedback.

What video/photos are you referring to Coconut Dog? Pretty serious accusations or are you just trying to spread false information?
