ppl you hate seeing most in the water - poll

I hate kooks that insist on always riding a short board even in waste high mush dribble where they cant even get their board to hydroplane and should be riding something else. Every condition merits different boards and the east coast rarely provides high performance shortboardable waves. Leave the potato chip at home unless its needed, don't chop hop your way down the face because you want to be the next kelly slater and are afraid of a fish or equivalent.

 

this includes paddle battle wanna be rippers because **** agro people

 

I can confirm, I am a wanna be pro ripper and I piss lots of people off when I paddle around everyone for the peak and then nosedive on the takeoff.

 

you define pretty much every summer shortboarder at my break

 

Yes, and as I sit here, in front of my glowing computer screen, I ponder to myself, are these the same individuals that are posting on this forum?

 

I'm just stoked I got a "pole category." And I guess am relieved it didn't register with any of the haters.

Don't hate, orchestrate...

 

I keep thinking the same thing as I look at my iphone 7- but I wonder- are you the dude who is always riding behind me??

 

the only benefit of winter is not seeing these people. yes people are out but its a lot fewer and they usually know what they're doing and have the correct board, f***ing winter brah

 

The Quebec girls that come down to surf are gorgeous, hottest girls on the beach, most of them. And yet, i see young American surfers watch the girls walk by wanting to be picked up, too timid to even say hello to them. Not in my days!!!

 

You have this 100% correct. And yet, they complain about others catching all the waves as they sit watching long boarders get all the waves. But hey, its their choice, I suppose.

 

This but the reverse. You walk down to your local spot you surf year round and see a group of friends. These are the type of non-locals who just find any jetty along the coast. I paddle out by myself and they give me a dirty look even though I surf there everytime there is any surf and live right down the street. I actually am polite at first until I notice they aren't really good surfers. I then can paddle around them to the peak because they keep blowing waves. I also know when I can drop in based on knowing they will blow the wave. In the end it works out and they vote for me on this forum. Hopefully, they stay home in PA or NY next time.

 

same thing with vancover island babes from Tofino in the Pacific Northwest. I was wary of Canadans at first, but at the start of my 3 month surf trip down the pacific coast highway a group of Vancouver surfers let me down on their Canadian thanksgiving at the beginning of october. No idea why canadians celebrate thanksgiving then, but at the time i didn't care. I was staying in a tent in the middle of the pouring rain, and they had all rented a luxury cabin on the beach. I traded my wet grilled cheeses for free turkey, stuffing, beer, BC bud, some nice canadian eye candy and a giant jam at the end of the night where i busted out my saxophone.

Go canada!

 

I do this. test 'em, judge 'em, then demonstrate why they will defer to me.
and no need for violence. just a dispatch of the latest by someone whos' been there longer.

(but only if they ask for it....and the older I get; sometimes they gotta ask twice...)

 

^^^^This. And, you haven't been in a Strip Club until you've been to one in Vancouver, B.C. Just phenomenal.

Visiting some of the Van Island breaks can be tough on a visiting cowboy though, for sure.

I'll take visiting Canucks over visiting Brazilians, any day.

 

i picked paddle battle wanna be rippers. Because that means you're surfing in a crowded lineup and you have to watch if folks are taking off deeper plus the guys dropping in. i hate a crowded line up. its like driving in traffic.

the go pros bother me too. im not one for recording every moment. it's just a surf session.

 

Wanna be rippers / aggro pinhead douche canoes.

You can be cool, peacefully coexist, whatever, on any type of watercraft.

No pinheads.

Sorry that you got a small winky.

Don't aggro out on me cause you're upset.

They got bud in Canada?

 

you shouldnt be surfing when a kitesurfer is out. the wind should be onshore 15 knots plus. I kite and when I do its when the wind is cranking and the waves are **** to surf I never run into surfers and I live in a perpetually crowded surf town

 

got some fire budz in canada even tho the new prime minister just made it illegal again or some ****. Either way seattle is just an hour or two away and its totally legal there.


"you shouldnt be surfing when a kitesurfer is out. the wind should be onshore 15 knots plus. I kite and when I do its when the wind is cranking and the waves are **** to surf I never run into surfers and I live in a perpetually crowded surf town"

Rhode island ain't crowded and if it is, theres always somewhere twenty mins down the road that ain't

 

RIP Sportsmans. The other pier is still there, but I don't wanna mention anything by name. Sportsmans was my home break for all of middle school and half of high school. I used to hate fisherman.

...But now, I paddle out shark baits with a longboard, while hacking my lungs up and spitting everywhere. Drop bloody tuna carcasses off half way between the S.P. and T.B. in CB. Drive down from Wilmington to do it. I just bought a surf kayak 20 minutes ago to improve my shark game. **** the Haters.



(usually the sharking is done way out on FF right before dark)
