So this morning it was 25 mph NE 30 mph gusts (onshores) with an underlying 4 foot goundswell making for VOS conditions except for a couple protected spots. I went out for a couple hours at a jetty and got lots of good peaks, it was crowded but plenty of waves to go around. A nice fun session with tricky chest plus take offs, bounce house drops,and random ramps amongst the masses. There is a shower way way down from the jetty in the far end of the parking lot. The main showers don't work. So after the session I went for a rinse. Parked near by next to a wooded boardwalk surrounded by seagrapes and the shower at the entrance. No waves this far down the beach,so no one was using the pathway. I figured this is a good place to rinse off, and do the towel in the parking lot chango into dry shorts and enjoy some lunch and football at a nearby spot. So at the shower is a large dark man, no tan lines, with his shorts down to his knees in the shower. And this goes on for a while. So finally I say f it,and walk up and say "Crack Kills"., and rinse off in the adjacent shower. He says, "Don't tell me what kills you, tell me what makes you", so I said, "God and Love is what makes you." Then I waited a beat, and said, "but crack kills". He got all mad, I thought I was going to have to fight off a crazy guy, so I rinsed off quick, went back to my car. He started to rant that he was body surfing and had sand in places and peeled off everything. Cussing and failing. Probably on flakka. Then a buddy of mine pulled up, after surfing,and we chatted, and I forgot about the wacko, then he rode past us cussin F F F F on his bike. Maybe I should have used another shower?
As long as it didn't try to throw your shiiiite in the water, you done good. The continuing decline of western civ is all around us...
Got lots of quick drops leading to mostly crash and burns. But it's only water. As far as the decline of western civilization goes, it applies to only me. If I step out of line,the entire weight of the legal system will make sure justice is served. These morons? They must be totally invisible to the law. Cloaks of invisibility, while the boys in blue fatten them selves up on a dozen doughnuts, glazed, jelly filled, bavarian creme. Thankfully no females were present, things might have gone south.
Dude, I love you like a brother but...talking to a guy in the shower? A guy with his pants around his knees? I know you were prolly just making light convo and everything, but talking to a half-nekkid guy in a shower is as bad as talking to a guy next to you at the urinal...you just don't do *that*, lol. 'Specially in FL. Please, don't ever let me hear about you doing this again...or somebody's Man Card will get ripped in half. P.S.---glad you got some waves.
You are 100% correct and I swear to everything holy that unless I have an electric cattle prod handy, this will never happen again.
