[QUOTE=SouthjettyBill;118854]locals.....what is a local? When I first checked out this message board I saw the best thread about people being meany guys at breaks which eventually launched into a thing about some dude in OCNJ who hassled people at Waverly. He said it's his jetty. QUOTE]
that must have been ken bradshaw
true that. my girlfriend works a the jewish mother and we always tip good
When Indonesians want it to rain, they pour a little water over a cat's back
Go to Nelson Ave. on Sunday afternoon. If there's not much surf create in your mind or with mind alterers. Call Grog's Surf Palace Surf Report for the surf report, and call Luker and Roth to go surfing with. Have an egg and cheese bagel in the morning. Peanut butter and jelly for lunch and take all the Beach Haven dudes to Panzones for pizza. Defecate before surfing. 5 mil dude it's warm as hells out there. Buy a new board. Or better let walk into Surf Unlimited and say, "I'm taking me a mother trucking board...any problems with that?" Look mean. Sex pre-surf helps on small days so you are mellow, it may hinder you on big days. Good luck Mr. Sniffer. Any more questions just ask
That's no what I mean. If you say, "This is my jetty no one else is allowed." it's like saying this is my one and only spot. Well ok, but you shouldn't go anywhere else to surf because that is not your break. If you are local and just don't enjoy visitors but don't act like you own the spot then you can travel. Hey I didn't make the rules. If you think you can throw others out then you need to stay at your spot. I mean c'mon hassling outsiders at your spot but then going to other peoples' spot is hypocritical. In theory they should throw you out because you left "your" spot and went to "their" spot. OMG I am so confused right now.......
And everyone should tip well....all y'all.........Don't be greedy.........throw an extra few dollars to what you were already leaning towards.....And leave your Jersey attitudes at home when you travel. No one should be cocky when you are a vistor at someone else's place.
I am starting to get the idea that he is one of those that,..if they make the paddle out,...they just sit in the lineup and watch others get the goods,..which is cool as long as they stay out of the way.
Who me? Ahh you couldn't be more wrong. Ahh another who tags along poking here...poking there....... I surf by my self, the way GOD intended, 95% of the time. I don't surf in packs. New Jersey's all beachbreak...spread out.
And if you were referring to me, big boy, I'll paddle out in anything with you anytime. I never had any problems "getting" out and actually I'm one of those few dudes out when it's blowing onshore at 20+ mph.
Stay out of whose way? Yours? AH HA another SWELLINFO shreddah......yeah ok, dude.....Yeah man, I sit off to the side watching cool guys like you shred it when it's so hard to paddle out......whhheeewww I made it. Now I'm gonna watch XGEN70 tear it up. Whoooo Hooooooo. Hey guys stay out of the way, man, there is some serious shredding going on here.......
Time to think of a new "idea".......keep trying though....you'll get it one of these days......
still waiting for the sjb video web blogging
Bill you are totally making up rules here.
Good tourists just fit right into the mix. No problem. Nobody even notices them. They buy lots of stuff and tip well. Bad tourists paddle right into the peak, hang out inside waiting on shoulders or get stuck inside right under the take off, blow every wave that you call them into. They blindly take off in front of people just to bail. Now it's not an issue of these "locals" being d*cks, its an issue of them having to deal with your inconsiderate and unsafe actions. They don't care where you are from, but you ain't from here. Next time you surf a spot that you don't frequent, as yourself: "are my a good tourist or a bad tourist"
When I travel, I make sure to be a good tourist.
