Real Waves... when there are waves measured with something longer then a ruler, they are gone. and to call them all kooks isn't fair. they don't make the rules, they enforce them so they can get paid...not to piss you off. and because the lifeguard kicks you out of the water doesn't mean they want to surf as good as you, it just means that the majority of the people that are in the water when it's toe to shin high are kooks, and the want to protect them. but because you rip and every one should know who you are because you rip, just ignore them and keep surfing. you are so good that they will let you surf where ever and when ever because you rip and you really do rip! have fun and be safe. oh, and next week when your tail curls up between your legs as ANA tears you a new butt hole,don't paddle out or get slammed because you don't rip and one of our OCBP lifeguards might have to give you mouth to mouth. it's not cuz he is gay. it's because carma bit you in the a$$! support your local lifeguards. the next life they save may be yours!
I agree, but let's get some perspective here. The guy must be having some kind of a delayed reaction/flashback to getting put out of the water weeks ago; might be better to just direct him to the nearest mental health clinic.

They guards seemed extra aggressive in enforcing rules this year, worse than others. So, a couple weeks ago during a little drifty swell, I asked the chick at the surfing beach why she was getting so serious with her whistle (a few of us were sitting a few yards south of the last guard stand and catching long rights into the surfing beach- she was going ape ****) ? She told me that the bosses were trying to really step-up their regulating. Is this true RUSTYSRFR? Why the hell all of the sudden? Especially when there are more surfers then ever out there! Is this coming from guard officials or town officials or townspeople complaining?
If there was a strong current and you were sitting just south of the chair taking rights, there shouldn't have been a problem. That's what I train them to let them do when the current is bad. The issue is when you go way past the FLAG. Surf beach ends at the chair, not the flag. And all those beach patrons sitting on the beach who are pissed they can't swim watch everything we do. The minute we give surfers more room, they get on their cells and call and complain. Then we get written up. So, yeah, in that respect we have to be careful. As much as surfers hate the surf beach boundaries, there are tons more people sitting on the beach waiting to whine when they see a surfer go into "their" area. By the way, what street was this?
30something a few weeks back around 11am. Waves were good all morning and I saw the surf beach was a few blocks down.... so I paddled over @ 10am. I understand the people call and complain and that tourists spend money and stimulate the economy. But, jiminey cricket, surfing is a lot more popular than it was back in the 90's when I started and there just is not enough room in the water (esp. on better days). My question is, why can't the captians give the guards some slack and be more understanding (seems like they used to modify it a lot more often then presently)? What would happen if they ignored the majority of the beachers complaints? Probably nothing. The tourists would deal with it the rest of the day, forget the next, and return the following year to spend more money and burn their fat *sses.
