Guilty Conscience

Freud would say your rage indicates that you are jealous of their life style and easy dominance of the waves. Jung would say you are jealous and intimidated by their humongous sticks making yours seem small and inadequate. Bruddah IZ would say you are definitely not living aloha.

peace brother

 

when i asked for a hummer, she gave me some keys...

hahha..nah, man ..that just means you got STYLE....and when gas hits $5/gal, you'll be a freakin GENIUS!!

 

like ........

 

She could just be one of those river SUPers. I see them on the Navesink all the time...

...or it could be her son's car who is a huge douche, sits outside in the lineup and grabs every wave from you

 

it helps to keep things in perspective. I'd much rather deal with grannies on SUPs than laxerbros with Hollister and puka shell necklaces.

 

Very well said spongedude......good stuff.
Live aloha......that happens to me all the time. I think it's our environment. The combo of territory/population along with living/survivng. It's ironic that I don't get the rage in Hawaii. (Partly for fear of getting my ass kicked, but that can happen anywhere I guess.)
For example, rolling through "nalo". Always heavy traffic. I love stopping the traffic to let pedestrians cross(even out of the crosswalk), or to let the drivers in. Usually you get a bunch of shaka's......karma seems to set in and the positive vibe returns in the lineup.
Back here, NOT.........I still try to keep positive, but it's waaaay more challenging.

 

You still shoulda cut the old biotch off and had a beer to celebrate. What were you thinking - no time to go soft - were at war here soldier !!!

 

hm, driving on rt.50 on a friday to the beach......

 

Please stay in Baltimore

 

F'in hilarious!

 

Nowhere near any beach^^^ So why do you care? Your obiviously not surfing and don't live at the beach.

 

"You guys literally have no idea how fortunate you are to have good waves with so few people. Surfing's about sharing waves and experiences and stories between both friends and strangers."

What's the difference between their attitudes and your initial attitude towards someone with an SUP sticker on their car? Are you entitled to waves that the SUPer might be catching?
I'm only trying to play devils advocate.
I think any of this, "stay home" attitude is crap. Everyone is entitled to have fun. If they're being an A-hole or doing something wrong, let them know that they are.

 

Good Philosophy.....Those memories will retain for a life time and the other stuff not so much ...............

 

I think you are missing the point, your the one hating on someone that has a SUP sticker on their car. Saying you want to cut them off on the road, that is a pretty bold statement. I could see your agrument being valid if you acutally were at the beach, surfing, or where even on your way to the beach to grab a surf. No need to throw out being "hardcore" or "you have traveled here and there." If that is true you would know that 99% of the time local surfers anywhere you go don't like you unless you know them.

 

well, ya got that right...
