He told me to hide behind my car because the people who live around there were d**ks and tend to call the cops to try and give surfers tickets (For those who don't know in Ocean City, NJ you can get a ticket for changing out of your suit even with a towel around you.) He didn't make the law; he thought it was just as dumb as I did and was trying to help me out. As for them eyeing you up; so what? First, it's their job to watch the streets. Your on them; they're gonna check you out. Second, I've found that people talk/look at me 3x as much than when I walk to the beach with a board than without one (All the cliches; "You going out there?", "Back in the day I surfed", "You ever see endless summer?"). Ultimately I think people are what you make them. You wanna jump to conclusions that they're a d**k than they're gonna come off as one. I always find it funny that people love to complain about cops but when something goes wrong the first people they call are them.
thannnnnk you!Quote:

its very possible. but i think with surfing becoming more popular its kinda stupid to think that all surfers are a bunch of pot heads and dead beats. theres many people surfing now days that kind of puts that stereotype rest.Quote:

It does'nt matter if your in the right they can still ticket you and force you to waste your time in court defending yourself on a false charge, and the judge and D.A. work for the same reasons and scheme, its a total conflict of interest. I could go on all day about this, but to sum it up I do not call the cops anymore, it never did me any good when I did. And people wonder why some of us have a deep hatred for law enforcement, there is no one to stand up for the common man. :mad:
One of my closest friends is a retired 5-O,One of the coolest guys out there.Like I said no disrespect just want to surf and be left alone.Quote:
