Hahaha, quote of the day! When I lived in Laguna we rode Creek quite a bit. Is a really fun wave & the little sh1ts that live close by hang @ the beach & snake each other & everyone else regularly. Burning them, riding right into them & then paddle back out to sit right next to them chills them out though.
Everybody.. [video=youtube;xdSh2OGgYQ8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdSh2OGgYQ8&feature=youtu.be[/video]

Yes!! I just read this thread and hope this goes and stays viral in the surf community! Some entitled surf parents are becoming an issue. I love when I see a parent bringing out their kid and showing him or her everything right, where to paddle, where to sit, when to go, and most importantly, when not to go, even when you might have priority. Everyone ends up rooting for that kid and when he or she scores, the lineup hoots and hollers. It's great. Then their are the other ones. Last year I kept getting dropped in on by some grom. One wave came and I was hauling ass, going right, and he stares straight at me and keeps paddling for it. I made a wide turn around him and right when I'm in front he kicks out and I got this pointy short bort heading for my noggin. I swear to god I caught that potato chip in mid air, threw it back, and kept going. His parents watching from the beach the whole time. Then they packed up, put that board on top of their new Range Rover with 6 other brand new boards. And they were from out of state. Didn't say a word to the kid and I'm sure would have called the cops if I did. And not that I would either, I blame the parents, and would love to dunk the hell out of them.
When I see someone about to drop in on me I stomp the gas and head straight at them. It's better to hit them than them hit you There is a new trend, it's called longboard board slides and I participate
I hear you loud and clear Manik. Several years ago on a crowded summer day I had an encounter with an over zealous parent. They were regulars at this popular summer spot. Audi SUV. Kids have the most expensive borts and suites with all the appropriate color combos for advertisement photo ops. Only problem was his son and daughter weren't that good of surfers. So anyways his daughter who was probably around 8-10 years old and who could barley go down the line was paddling for a wave. Since resources were scarce on this particular day I decided to not pass up the opportunity and paddled on the inside of the girl and took the wave. I saw she got a little intimidated and at the last minute backed off. Ten minutes later I take off on another wave and the girls dad went out of his way and dropped in on me. I said WTF dude? He told me that was for burning his daughter. I just couldn't hold it in and just busted out laughing in the guys face. I told him his daughter can barely surf and to get a clue. He just mumbled some sht under his breath, paddled away, and wasn't a problem anymore.
From London's old man: "The incident at Salt Creek last week involving my family has brought many issues to the surface both positive and negative and I have decided that there is nothing to be gained for anyone by further action on my part and as such I have no intention to pursue any legal recourse. While I respectfully disagree with the idea that bullying is ever justified or that violence is merited as a response to “disrespect” or misbehavior, I can appreciate that others have a different view. It has been very hard to hear this negative feedback and I have run through the gamut of responses from defensive to anger to righteous indignation and finally to resolution that this must be made right. One bit of feedback that has rung true is that I need to take a deep look in the mirror and see what part I am playing in the creation of this dynamic. In looking deeply at what I have role modeled I can see the many ways that I have been selfish, aggressive, entitled and easily offended. While I tend to exhibit these traits in a passive aggressive manner they are none the less what I have unwittingly role modeled to my son. This behavior has set my wife into a mode of protection within our family that has been expressed outwardly when the same dynamic plays out in the wider world. For my part I do apologize - first to my family, to my friends and peers and to the surf community as a whole. My lack of acknowledgement and ownership of this behavior has ultimately created this situation and the blame lies squarely with me. I will continue to dive into the root of these issues and work to unravel this behavior and do better for my sons, wife and all. In respect to London, he has as you may imagine, had to face some serious introspection and participate in some very difficult conversations. He has had to take ownership of how others have experienced him both positively and negatively. London is a good kid with no negative intentions and he will be working hard to show this by his actions and engagement with others. In peace and aloha and with hope for a new beginning for all involved I offer my apology." Chris Almida probably written by the old lady...who is most definitely a 4
