The Worst People to Surf Around

Really agressive shortboarders who are surfing like they have something to prove. You can just tell by the way they paddle and get all big and have that look.

Or people who get all agressive and paddle for a wave only to back off last minute. Many waves wasted by people calling you off then bailing. If I see a guy blow a wave once or twice he cant be trusted with a good wave hell probably waste another one. There arent that many good waves and its sick when people get good rides but when they fall on every wave thats it for them.

 

This thread is great

I absolutely love all of this about Virginia beach surfers. We are awful. There are only a few good spots, the surf usually sucks, and when it is decent everyone and their extended family is on it. When it is crowded you always have to be on the move. Paddle to the peak. Every wave is a party wave. It really is just a hilarious sh*t show at the oceanfront when there are waves in the summer.

Here's my take:
children
old people
fishermen
marine life

 

If someone paddles deeper then you might not be in position.

 

Number 3. People that can't surf as good as me. I'm out there taking things seriously. Trying to bust off lips and drop in on quad OH. Or when I'm on my <br />Boards: 5’9″ round tail Semi Pro, Thruster/Quad setup and I'm shooting up in air (see avatar) they keep trying to get in my way acting like a bunch of kooks. Please don't say head high is big. Where I'm from when its that size we turn our noses on it up. <br /><br />Number 2. Weak people. If you can't do the basic fundamentals of bodybuilding then GET OUT OF THE WATER. No one respects you. <br /><br />Number 1. People from NC and below. There all hicks. They get no waves. They have dumb avatars (dloren I know that's the guy from dos Equis you aren't fooling me) or the guy with the pic of a guy holding a boogie board with a reel flag. Or some idiot making a blog and raising money for people that can't even walk and \"claiming that by catching 2 foot waves he is surfing... And all the other ones. Stay down there and read your bibles and grab your shotguns and listen to country music because I just destroyed you!

 

couldn't have said it better myself!

 

I'm the worst person to surf around. Please keep your distance.

1) People learning how to surf on those long foam boards that giggle their asses off whenever they fall off.
2) Small, cocky, kids between 10-13 with "flow and snapbacks" that are really, really loud
3) Dumb tourists. On my beach you have to swim within the 2 flags, and you can surf anywhere else. More than half the time a tourist will drift over into the surfing zone and get in the way. And the other half of the time they get caught in rips and the lifeguards get pissed at you if you dont go to shore like the rest of the people because clearly we're all going to drown.

Everything else I dont really mind. The guys that steal all your waves I could care less about I'll just move somewhere else or someone else will confront him.

 

Yes!!! I totally agree!!! I rather surf alone... Although its not that I hate or dislike people in general- I just find it more relaxing to surf alone... That's right.. Relaxing!!! I'm not all about surfing like I'm in a surf comp when I'm out there- I don't paddle around guys as a wave comes and fairly mellow- but if your one of those guys who paddled out and sits right on the inside of me and paddles for every wave that I paddle for then when I stop out of consideration - they miss the wave- I will drop in the next time...
I'm really not out there to jockey around with some summer pro... I'm out there to have fun... and get barreled of coarse! So I rather surf alone or with a few friends or locals or even beginners sometimes cause they are always stoked!

So here is a list if I had to make one:
1 guys who constantly paddle around or sit right inside you and act like they own the place- but you have never seen them before.
2 infamous summer pros- of whom I dearly love
3 all the rest.... Lol


How about this- you guys know a certain persons truck/car and if you see it at a break- you will not paddle out?? Lol

 

Wow sounds like your a ... Uh... Summer pro?!?!

 

yep vb should be #1. wont surf the jetty till late sept, surf alone

 

if your ever down here i might hit ya with my truck because i was reading the bible, while driving drinking sweet tea, listening to coutry music, and reaching for my shotgun. because tourist season is in and people from up north cant drive. Been cut off by two people with jersey plates today who teaches yall to drive? canadians??

 

Simple answer: anyone within 100 yards of me. Stay away from me at that distance and we will never have problems

 

Anyone that surfs Loch Arbor in the summer on a shortboard that is only there when the waves are larger than waist high, and only surfs the summer. It's amazing the amount of people that show up there when there is a little bit of height on the jetty wave. So much agro in a line up that never has agro in the winter.

Then they have the nerve to talk smack about the "old longboarders clogging the lineup." Those old guys on longboards were out when it was OH, 20 degrees out, and the sun wasn't up yet in February. They earned their spot there.

 

summer is coming......

 

I suggest drinking a few liters of water to get the faucet rolling and then getting territorial on their a$$es. What's yours is yours. Reminds me of living with roommates or a girl that you're constantly in conflict with - you never want to go home to see that vehicle there. That's no way to feel about your "home" break.

On Thursday, there was a 2-3ft blown out chop in the afternoon after a morning of decent offshores and there was a half dozen of us on shortboards trying to discern through an hour's worth of crap waves to find some acceptable rides. It was a perfect day of 80 degree sun despite the non-surfing wind, so no one was in a rush to get back to shore. The 6 of us were moving inside, out the back, just about everywhere we could to catch a mediocre wave and ride it as well as possible. No rules of engagement were broken and no one upset anyone else even though most of us 6 were each looking to hop on every wave we could.

As harmonious as that session was between riders, what was just as good was that when our group all headed to the beach we were replaced by a crew of longboarders. If you put one of them in with us the way we were darting all around in hunting fashion, it would've screwed everything up. Not to mention their ride after catching a wave which would've affected where we could position ourselves for our next. I don't think anyone tried to make it happen like this, it just did. Reminded me of the country club pool in the summer. You had kids tearing the pool apart in controlled anarchy, then the last 15 minutes of every hour was adult swim.

 

Hey kid, it's past your bedtime. Bustin airs....? ah, jeez. Go bust a nut with your Katy Perry blowup doll, junior.

 

I like this thinking.

 

im from vb and totally agree.rotfl.weve got some of the best waisthigh wonders around.live 5 min from beach and surf in vb maybe three times a year usually when it finally gets good then its pretty much a blast to paddle out in the pack and watch all the waist high slop chargers get there asses handed to them.donkeys. would rather make the two hour drive for solitude and quality waves but we go down every swell and do our homework so when its on were not all coralled at the stress turns being that guy.guess id be that guy to if i was stuck here and never got any waves pooor baastards
