Our guy is called "Pinocchio" because of his hair cut, no respect for "locals" and as he rides by chuckles in your face. I've had it out with this Kook on the beach in front of his wife and 3x times in the parking lot and he still doesn't get the message. Sometimes you can't make chicken soup out of chicken $hit.
So true. Had it happen to me dozens of times. That’s when I get aggro and anti social. A little stink eye/crazy vibe goes a long way.
The dudes on shortboards who sit on the inside when it’s 3’ and paddle battle for the inside break, all in the name of a 2 second ride.
The sad people who paddle out to show off as if they have something to prove. I am not interested in you or how great you think you are, and that's not surfing...i just wanna surf, pure stoke.
I usually just give a smile or maybe the, “howzit”. But if the vibe is good I’ll chat too. Especially if the dude’s surfing alone.
That's what I'm talking about. Iv met some cool dudes out there all alone. One guy paddles out and turns out to be a cool guy. Trade waves. Freaking best friends by the end of the sesh
Because you shared in something that brings great joy - you find kindred spirits of a sorts. Makes you feel less alone in a lonely sort of passion
I find the oversized extended cab truck filled of 4 guys on 8ft pink soft tops a bit annoying. Then again I can paddle circles around them on a short board haha.
Anyone who cuts me off intentionally...accidents do happen, but that guy who looks dead in your eye and goes anyhow.
Mad bro? Just kidding. Told a group of teenagers to shut up last week. Afternoon sesh after a hard day at work and it sounded like a high school cafeteria.
The most annoying are the kooks that come out of the woodwork during a hurricane swells. They get downloaded the program from the media outlets. Travel in packs. No matter how crowded it is they still paddle out anyway. I've seen a six packs paddle out at spots that already have 40,50+ people in the water. Truly mindless. During one hurricane swell every time I spun and paddled for a wave some chick I've never seen ever seen would start paddling for the wave looking back at me yelling, "Are you going! Are you going!" After about 6-8 waves I told her, "What the f*** does it look like i'm doin?" She was kinda hot but I told her to beat it anyway.
