Jeez - Coming on SI and playing the victim, who did you whine to about this before the internet? If you are not on the peak you aren't in line, quit crying and paddle over to the peak where you can have a claim to the peak. BTW Why do you continually refer to yourself in the third person ?
this is appropriate to the OP: [video=youtube;tMGpv24oB2U]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMGpv24oB2U[/video]
I thought about posting that one too pump. back in the day if someone shoulder hopped you twice there was gonna be altercation/fistacuffs. Out one time and this big dude kept burning this small dude talkin' smack like "what you gonna do about it." After the 3rd time a couple of the local enforcers paddle over to the big dude and told him to leave immediately or get his butt kicked. Never saw the guy again. I never saw anyone get hassled that was not deserving of it. If you could surf and worked your way in you got no beef and people had your back if someone was being a total d*ck.
I think this thread has run its course. and anyone that thinks I was out of line by dropping in on this prick should stop pretending the scenario in your mind is anything like how it plays out in real life.
It's happened to most people on here. Guys who know what they are about will play the positioning game or if they cant, they know to move. People who don't know jack sh!t about surfing do what you did then whine about it. You got a wake up call, learn from it so that the next time isn't worse.
Man Pitted, I just can't help but to review this with you. I just went back and re-read your OP as I did not originally get to the ending where he threw your gear into the ocean...I just read the beginning which was enough. But, In the end, you refuse to see scenario for what it really was. 1. you mentioned he was local and you refer to surfing "that place again", like it was a random pull off and surf here today mission. He probably surfs there every swell and obviously had the peak wired (which you did not). 2. you mentioned he kept paddling outside of you to the peak. Here is the point (I think most folks who have been surfing for sometime would agree with this): If I go to the peak and catch a good one, out of basic instinct I am going to paddle back to the exact same spot hoping to get another and another and so on. You decided to hang on the shoulder and not challenge the peak. 3. The guy sounds like a real piece of work but the reality is he did what most guys do when surfing...optimize there wave quality and quantity. Sorry he threw your stuff in the water...way over the top but his surfing was speaking for itself as was yours. as AKA said learn from it and move on.
k bro. I bet if you took the peak while he rode his waves he would have let you have it for a bit. If your going to sit on the shoulder hes going to get his. He still shouldnt have thrown your sh!t in the water........but you don't really understand the lineup.
hello earth to the retard squad - there is no one peak at a beach break like you see on long island. between him and me, the take off spot was a moving target within the area we were sitting in. Its just that most of the surfable waves that came in were lefts. it was obvious he was trying to always be on my left and I just wasnt getting suckered into his game. so he gets dropped in on. If I had him in arms reach on the beach I'd have ripped him in two. He pulled the ultimate coward baby move by tossing my gear into the water and taking off. if any of you guys tried to challenge me like that on an empty beach you'd get dropped in on too.
Then I would throw your stuff in the water???????? JK But wow you really don't get it. Lets see. Lefts are coming in......and you got mad at him for trying to be as far left as possible so you dropped in on him repeatedly? Do you get mad in basketball when guys dribble around you to take an open shot?
your douchebaggery was totally exposed in your last post Bradley. You got schooled and exposed for the kook you are and are upset about it. Be thankfully this was at Long Island and now some 3rd world break.
PS--You called him a local so you know he is there a lot, why not go back and settle things with him??
my brain hurts... waves are lefts, surfer is left (looking out to sea? wouldn't that be surfer's right?) and closer to the peak on every good wave but still 30 yards away, LI can have pretty stable peaks (where the other surfer was), paddling to the peak is "getting suckered into his game", LI has lots of surfers (ain't exactly Jeff Clark at Mavs) so claiming a wave (at the shoulder) is pretty unrealistic... this makes as much sense as Trump on the oppressed white american male
