So what is everyone thoughts about getting physical when **** goes down in the water? Whether it's disrespect, dangerous behavior, or ego surfing? Do you get the police involved if you get your ass kicked? Do you paddle away or do you throw down? Love to hear everyone's thoughts cause I feel like surfing has gotten soft, just dirty looks and fake smiles now a days. Who puts their money where their mouth is?
Two options: 1) Paddle in and toss the other guy's schit in the water. 2) Bench off. Needless I say more.
I've never fought over surfing, only a couple minor verbal interactions like telling someone to paddle down the beach. If I mess up and screw someone's wave up, I always apologize and try to throw them a bone on the next set and let them go. There's always another wave, it's not that serious to me. If someone attacked me I'd defend myself but no sense in looking for it. Surfing to me is a way to find inner peace, not strife.
I'm too old for fighting, but New England waters are so tame, you'd have to really be a jackass to rile up the locals enough, plus the locals are all old like me. The last time someone tried to intimidate me at a somewhat local spot, I just looked at him and laughed in a - I'm 50, and I don't give a fvck - kind of way.
sometimes its just hilarious,,last year waves were breaking longer lefts,,noone was going to the right...no one near me im all the way at the very end and everyone else siting somewhere down the line..i noticed about 100 -200yrds away this dude outside the line paddling like crazy wave comes he snags it deeper than the line rides it past the lineup paddles out again..making his way down to me slowly..finally gets near me a wave comes I go left with the break,,hes inside of me and goes to the right toward me, he pulls out of the wave bc the wave lost energy in that direction basically and then yells at me you better watch out..sometimes its just comical
Who are you posting on this forum with no intro treadde and talking all big and mighty. This forum has gotten soft, but you may get Fitzpedoed if you don't adhere to properre etiquette. Do some research on how to post, then come back and ask everyone who got into a fight trying to surf.
i wouldnt f u ck with most of the guys in my line up here. There either ex millitary, heavily armed, or addicted to meth. Im a scrawny 150 lb surf animal that could dish some out if needed but i have a feeling if i hit some of these guys as hard as i could they would laugh at me and end me. plus i like to keep my karma clean. dont even kill spiders if i dont have to, put a glass over em and put em outside. although when we do our burn operations i kill thousands of woodland creatures so whatever i guess someone has a problem just leave. they probably cant surf anyway. let your surfing do the talking not your fists.
I hit to hard to start fights, I don't want to pay for reconstructive face surgery to teach someone a lesson. I'm a very very dirty fighter, if I could I would take 2 steps back and shot you. I only fight for self defense now. I beat this kid so bad 1 time I thought I killed him, not a good feeling since I started the fight and would definitely get 10 years if he did die.
if you get the police involved thats pretty gay. then again to fight over a waist high summer sloppy wave isnt worth it its retarded. go on a surf trip and save your self the problem. I am just back from central america and got more waves there in a week then I get at home in a year
I only bare knuckled it once, cause I saw somebody surfing on my board... and he didn't ask permission. Now THAT'S karma.
