Upset Locals - Southern N.E.

Surf naked, nobody will mess with you if they think they may end up with your junk on their face during a fight.

 

Suck it up, chances are you probably deserved the treatment you received.

Past generations dealt with this hazing like men. Its like eating spinach, just swallow it down and you will be end up stronger for it. That dude did you a favor, some day when you are old and wise. You can tell stories to your little kids about how tough things were in Rhodey back in the day.

Your kids will look up to you as a real bad ass and they will listen to you with some fear…that dude did you a favor…that dude did your kids a favor.

 

Do you think they where pirates or something? Seriously- what's up with all the bearded guys with bad attitudes lately? Do they think the beard makes them tough?

Idk- things have been the same down here this winter. It always seemed like the winter was the best time to surf, not just better waves- but for the most part everyone in the water was cool. Everyone got along cause it was all the core surfers. Not so anymore. I'm really over it... If your going out in the water with an attitude- then you got some personal issues - why not leave them on the beach. I don't even think they know what surfing is all about... It's not a sport, it's not like we are playing football or something. Seriously some guys will paddle around you all day- and fall on every wave- only to arise from the water cursing like a sailor cause they can't surf. What ever.

I have felt the pain and anger of crowds showing up at a spot they you have surfed for years alone... But there are much better ways to regulate. Like hiring a PR guy...

Anyways- I would rather surf with a bunch of kooks then a bunch or guys with beards and bad attitude.

 

Pirates! hahahaha!

Don't Arrrrrrgue with pirates!

 

But as walking has said elsewhere, I truely, in no way shape or form, understand people that surf to be aggro. I get in the friggin water to decompress, it's the only place in the modern world you don't need that ish.

 

^+1 Amen to that, Seldom!

 

Try 1st peak at Sebastian Inlet on a Sunday mid am during a hurricane swell. They won't say anything, they will just 1. run you over 2. launch an air and land on you.

Some places just have a culture of aggro localism passed on, father to son, maybe four generations deep.

Don't act surprised. I figured it was Ruggles. It doesn't make it right. It is what it is = it sucks and there is not alot you can do about it.

 

Well Stu I'll tell you, surfing's not a sport, it's a way of life, it's no hobby. It's a way of looking at that wave and saying, "Hey bud, let's party!"

What Jefferson was saying was, Hey! You know, we left this England place 'cause it was bogus; so if we don't get some cool rules ourselves - pronto - we'll just be bogus too! Get it?

 

Ah dis what I be sayin' jesus..I hit that point by October out there in Monmouth county
Man and these dudes ain't ****ing rippin'..sure as **** ain't tuff
Only bearded guys that scare me are the dudes wit speaker phones outside of the market
I think this spring through the rest of the year I'll take it back to forties and blunts
Thugged out Chargin'

 

Is it still call chargin, on a bodyboard?

Yeah man, don't let these pirates get ya down. Now, if they show up and their beards are on fire, you may wanna leave

 

This is the truth for sure!!! Seldom knows whats up.

 

It sounds like an ISIS cell, bearded old dudes all agitated that their culture is being corrupted by outside influences. Maybe you should recruit some Hindus to paddle out en mass next good swell. That will have them so distracted they will maybe forget about the set waves.

 

yea, rhode islands got a lotta grumps. it sucks but it will build character if you can deal with it properly in the future (still not sure what that is)

 

exactly, not sure why anyone could get upset in the ocean when ppl be dying from crack and aids and getting robbed all day. aggro ganseet shortboarders who think they are the tits bc they don't know how to ride any other boards and don't know when to use what and the old heads that get grumpy or salty are just not worth your energy

 

Bunch of "hipsters"??

 

bearded dude hu? sound like a bunch of butt pirate lumber jacks that came down from canada that didnt drink their daily dose of maple syrup.

 

Call the cops for getting yelled at? Really?

 

So, dudes in Rhode Island discovered the 1970's California ethos of clear boards, black wetsuits, and beards.

Wow, Narragansett or Pt. Arena?

How original.

Newport Go Home !!
