S*** Talking when Flat.

You've obviously never been to Cali or Hawaii have you? What you see here is NOTHING compared to what goes on at those places.

 

I don't know

The Cali localism doesn't seem credible to me. I spent six months surfing around Santa Barbara and whenever there were waves i went to Rincon which was probably the most crowded spot around. I never had any problems in the water as long as I was respectful which is pretty much how i surf here in OC. I think the problem is sticking us all on a 10 mile stretch with a summer season that is crowded with people who don't have respect for the Ocean, Beach, or surfing. On top of that the surfers are forced into one of two half block stretches if they want to surf during the day at all. I can understand where some of the animosity comes from but instead of fighting with each other maybe we should get the City Council to throw us a little more space during the summer.

 

I just got back from the Dana Point area I spent most of my time at salt creek and with a 4 day span of chest high waves I saw like 1 fist fight and 2 pushing/yelling matches. It seems to me people didn't talk trash there they took action.

 

Santa Barbara......lol

Try 3 hours south of there like around Oceanside.......San Diego county......I'm sure your view will change.

 

Wow ......YES SIR!...........you really put me in my place. Didn't know that swellinfo hired you as a moderator.

 

people from the mid atlantic for some reason just think they are the s***. if you get cut off just dont be a *** and flip out. its just one wave, get the f*** over it and dont be such a vag

 

The above shows your complete ignorance of surfing rules and etiquette. Again, you think this only happens int he mid-Atlantic? There are some places where one drop in results in a beating.

Most of what I've seen in 25 years of surfing is the the 3 strike rule. you drop in once you might get a look or a comment and if you apologize it's forgiven. the second time a more forceful comment, the third time its usually a complete flip out or worse (if you drop in on some one 3 times you deserve that).

 

???

What you forgot to mention is WHO is sitting on your shoulder. That changes the rules! Some people don't change the rules until it gets heavey...that is when there is a consequence. If you get snaked at north side, big deal because you can ride 3 people on a wave. But dumps, someone can get hurt. And like others said, mid-atlantic is not aggresive at all. Jersey is aggresive. Cali, Hawaii, Canaries...they are strong minded people. I have never been yelled out in the water or even yelled at someone in the water around here. If someone cuts you off, you just joke with them for a minute and go deeper or down the beach. I think the crap on this forum is just that...kids joking around. No one gets hurt and I have never seen anyone carry any crap from a forum into the water. When it does finally get good (think about this), Over head-off shore wind-tubes NO ONE IS THINKING ABOUT a silly forum thread. People get into position. If you rip, you get deep. If you don't, you pick off shoulders. Skysurf, your intentions are cool but a little gay. Do you listen to Coldyplay? (ir: that's a joke!) Summer's here and my local friends love it. Entertainment is back, partying is full-on and there is always something fun about watching the b-town unit do their crazy-skimming-backflips down the beach with 5 or 6 Heins in em deep chasing the milfs. It's the money making season. You make it, live it spend it then DIE. Rock on!!!

 

You obviously didn't see me and Bodhi battling with War-Child and his goons at the shower at Latigo Beach...

 

Nathanial never told me everyone called him Turtle in Hawaii or that he shaped. Too bad Busey had to go and shoot him. Guess he never made it to Makaha...

 

GREAT NEWS !!

I knew I should have kept those damn cuffs on that Chippendale dancin fruitcake. But it's alright, you'll see me droppin in on more of the same rights and comin out left hand barrel sequences. And that's not Andino brah, that's me rippin, been takin lessons from Machado and KS. Gorkin even taught me his flippy spinning thing too, so watch out OC, I'm comin for you this summer!!! And you K-Coast guys I've been hearing about, you best mind your P's and Q's out there, cause remember "I...am an F.B.I.......AGENT!!!"

Via Con Dios

 

Well here it is: This is just an online forum and I don't even take it seriously when people without a face want to say smack. Its like smack-talk on Halo online, I mean, it doesnt mean anything. Seriously, how does anybody really talk offense or get pissed? Its just here for fun, and good swellcasting.

Oh and if you cant handle the cold water, get out

 

this thread makes me think of this http://www.shredordie.com/videos/a7da6cdbca

 

If you're talking trash on the forums, you are probably either a (1) immature kid or (2) uneducated adult
...Or you know the person(s) of whom you are directing the insults

 

----------------------------------
I think we may be the only ones who read your thread and actually understand thats its about respect on this WEBSITE! Oh well-peace!...

 

OK, so this is where you tell me about how locals rule and yuppie insects like me shouldn't be surfing your break and all that, right?

 

the moral of the story is that im personally glad you all so busy *****ing about the summer and the crowds and localism...keep it...because the more you guys are doing this on here the less people there will actually be in the water. None of it matters until there actually waves and people who can surf surf and people who cant are shown up. So let it be, and like the man said before, drink a beer, have some respect, and enjoy the summer for what its worth and not ***** about it. Wanna get away....take a ****ing trip, be my guest.

 

Such strong language...does someone need a hug???
