Memorial Day Weekend Swell?

[LOSTsoul]

anyone w/ even half a brain can figure out a way around this crap. same threads come up every year w/ the same responses.

agreed. lifeguards=non issue

Try this:

Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinkin badges...

But seriously - are the badges for beach access or for parking? You need a badge to walk on to the beach? That's just wrong. Beach access should be free. Parking is another story...

I'm going to put that on my board and hold it up when they try to whistle me in at 9:01 AM, LOL

I'm getting tired of swellinfos forum. its been what, 4 years now (formally known as Johnnyav13). Same ol' threads everyday/year. On another note, waves have been fun past two days (also was very comfortable in a short sleeve full wetty, stoked) in south jersey and i'm not going to complain about waist high waves for the next week . too bad its memorial day and too bad i'll be slaving in the kitchen at the restaurant all weekend. damnit.

is this most people's first forum that they have used? I mean, any other forum i have been on there are tons of redundant posts even with policies about what threads should be avoided. and theres always a group of angry people ready to flame the hell out of some noob like he should know better. its not a swellinfo issue, it happens everywhere. IMHO its more obnoxious to hear people calling someone out on a noob post when the appropriate thing to do is just let the thread die.............drama queens

I am glad I dont gotta worry about life guards being jerks and beach tags. If your know what your are doing and not a hazzard to everyone around you in the water the life guards let you do what you want at the surfing beach i got to.

federal land use law,riparian rights,beach access,i don't buy badges,they are unconstitutional,the badge's history is to keep out 'undesirables',but my area has a lot of good all-day surf breaks,so,easy for me to say.
i still hate their signs,rules, restrictions-go back to where you came from

I created this thread for my own amusement, and also in anticipation of the inevitable memorial day threads centered around all the questions I originally asked to start it off. I figured I could (a) get a good laugh out of everyone's responses, and (b) start a preemptive thread that would avoid all the other memorial day weekend threads. Unfortunately, looks like a duplicate thread was already created and so basically that was a failure. Anyway, I'll be camping this weekend and away from the ridiculousness that is memorial day weekend. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Sounds like a good plan dude. I just get on a friends boat and sail out a few miles and just wait it out until Tuesday or so.
