Not sure we're on the same page here dude. "Regulates itself" by chewing up and spitting out poseurs and pretendeurs, not talking about a bunch of nouveau riche pantywastes regulating interloper parking near their McMansions. Then again, 36 degree water during your winters prolly does a decent jobbe of keeping most kooks out of the surf
Yeah, it was a sarcastic comment on my part. Plenty of kooks up here BTW but never seen any regulating.
Poseidon has regulated me on several occasions... He seems to always let me out, but he has spit me back to shore with authority.
Not just the cold water, but you Left Coast guys sure see an awful lot of current during your swells. I'm just not into that drifting sh!t at all, probably regulate my arse right into the Peanut Gallery most of the time. "Did you see that guy paddling out at the pier? He got sucked all the way down to 182nd Street and didn't even make it out." " What a kook. "
I haven't had a surf rage incident in a few years. The last one was when a leashless kook on a longboard blew the takeoff on a stomach high wave sending his 40 pound retro turd cartwheeling over the head of a young kid paddling out. The young kid happened to be one of mine. He left the water in a hail of insults and heckling.
Lame this day was paddled by everyone except you guessed it Colin. IRI is real and if he stroked into anyone of those sets it would of been sick, even if you only got 2 all day it would be clutch. I got maybe 8 that day until I broke my board and it was to late for the board swap. I hardly surf there so I don't care, mostly boogie boarders and their rare nowdays like rollarbladers at the skatepark Who got wave of the day that day?
