The new wetsuits, you know, the ones with the full length zipper in front, and the legs with the back-of-the-knee pads. Guess it is easier to get them on, and take them off, and the backwards knee pads are to protect you sitting on the board. Also have seen waxing bottom of board (aren't they like skis?), and the classic boardshorts over the wetsuit - a look that always inspires a chuckle.
Down here we get Canadian tourists the rent soft tops or SUP's and then wear their "grape smugglers" out in the line sup. Nothing is more disgusting then paddling behind a flailing Canadian with a bikini on!
Call me a kook, but I'll wear my boardshorts over the wetsuit until the last possible opportunity, bu hey, that's the way I like it.
Matching outfits to surfboards is fantastic too. There's a guy in my area who brings several boards and changes of clothing and accessories to go with said boards. I think it's super.
This actually happens?? Wow. Coming from the guy that wears clown socks (two diff ones) most days of the week.
"Hey, man. Got any wax?" Inexperienced surfers that talk big in the line up, around town or on forums. Usually end each session with "I should have brought my other board" or "you should have been here yesterday."
so many things. i hate it when people paddle for a wave and then back out of it. either go or tell me to go but when you paddle for a wave ten times and I am near you (at a point) and you cant make the drop just get the **** out of the water and stop screwing everything up or actually go and eat **** but dont be a complete pussbag and pull back everytime. that pisses me off. that and the swell today getting downgraded. looks like beers and football instead.
What bothers you about the wax question? 99% of the time I surf at sunrise, long before the shop opens. Sometimes I forget to buy more wax, sometimes others arriving at that time realize they have no wax. There is no option of going to the surf shop. I don't see a problem with asking the guy next to you to borrow a little bit of wax. What does it take, 3 seconds to toss it to him and catch it as he tosses it back?
That's just me, man. I normally buy wax in bulk so I always have a square to spare. Plus, I usually rewax after every session so I don't forget. I hate asking people.
I usually buy a ton when I buy it, especially because I am not usually able to go to the shop during business hours. Unfortunately since I am used to always having wax, a lot of times when I run out I completely forget
Love seeing someone come to the beach with a few boards n set up a shade tent coolers n all and never get in and catch a wave all day. If I'm out there, there some thing rideable.
Using the word 'Kook'. What? You call someone a kook so that makes you sound like some kinda cool surfer guy? You actually sound like a little *** when you use the word kook. If someone gets you mad or annoys you in the water, be a man a call them something like F@cktard, A$$hat, A$$clown, D-bag, or F@cko. Then take them onto the beach and beat them with an axe handle. (DISCLAIMER: I don't promote the use of profanity in the water or by today's youth in general, nor do I promote violence of any kind, especially on the beach, and especially by biker looking, old mean guys who wield axe handles.)
Empty lineups because of an underforcasted swell and said people are too lazy to go see the water for themselves. That's always awesome.
