    Surfers over the years have obtained such a negative mindset on surfing waves and have created such a dominant perspective on the sport. You guys should be freaking ashamed of yourselves for making the surf community the way it has become. Just go out there, get wet, and enjoy sharing all of the waves God gives us. When people become cocky and arrogant is when the passion of surfing gets diluted altogether.

    Peace and see you in the lineup

    looks like the right side will be bigger on monday anyway ...

    actually if you pay taxes anywhere in FL. you support all the beaches as mean high tide is state property so you should feel "free" to surf anywhere ...

    a lot of coastline here to get crappy with anyone ...

    any "local" should know how to manage or escape the crowds in their area, if you don't you need to try more of your area breaks ;)

    have a good weekend everyone i will most likely be on both coasts, and not really bothering anyone ;-)

    of course posting your local holiday BBQ information would be a nice thing to do for your visitors this weekend ...

    ;)

    Sarasota will be going off more than st. pete. Most the time we have better surf on any swell here than st.pete. You just have to hit the right spots because there are a lot of spots in sarasota u just have to hit the right one depending on the swell. Venice jetties are goin to rock also, but there will be like 100+ people there haha.

    I also forgot to say Repsect each other and have fun.If you are in a position to let someone else have a wave ,do so.If everyone would respect each other and trade off on waves and be nice and not selfish,surfing will be more fun no matter where your surfing.

    yay waves!!

    DON'T go to that one key on the gulf coast. It probably won't be able to handle the size and close out.

    I live on the east coast, and work for a fire department in Naples. That sould qualify as dual citizenship. Bringing my boards to work tomorrow, Sunday is looking to be fun. I hope the winds stay offshore. Have fun and stay safe out there, should be plenty of waves for all of us.

    battan down the hatches son cause we are in for some swell. too bad we are going to be dealing with a huge tragedy cause this thing is picking up at a very extreme rate right now. in 1998 from hurricane georges we saw the gulf light up like pipeline, looks like we are in for it again, maybe even wiamea this time.... it too bad i only have a 5'10" haha
