Week long surf recap slash venting therapy session

Nice write up. Actually found some enjoyment in reading it. I had a similar week with a classic A- session and a completely dogged out one. Also, cannot stand for those who don't have respect to look both ways or follow the code. After getting dropped in on, I like to move to whichever side is the inside of them. Never get snaked twice...especially from a kook.

 

fk this

 

Sup'ers can eat my fuk.

 

This belongs in the "Who's been surfing" thread. Now go kill yourself

 

Good stuff. I had similar issues with SUPer on Tuesay here in MD. I started to lose my mind when I decided to do something different. I paddled over to the ocean sweeper and calmly asked if I could talk to him. The dude actually thanked me. He is a typical in lander that doesn't know crap. Wasn't dropping in to be ahole - he simply doesn't know the rules. Let's face it - these folks ain't going away thus there has to be some way to educate them. We could label them as having been advised of the rules. After training, all additional offenses will be dealt with in the appropriate (yet childish) ass whooping.

 

I would rather just take out the .357 and end them there........

 

This place was frustrating, not a good swell for here.

 

same rules apply to surfing as they do driving.its just common sense.

like when u say drop in,and they didn't know any better,its like if ur at a stop sign and and 18wheeler is coming,do u patiently wait like ur supposed to,or do u say fuk it I'm getting infront of him and get ran over and body parts stuck to the subframe of ur car.

right of way lol,did these guys skip the education process of school,u know standing in line,waiting ur turn lol.i doont get it

 

Some people learned their etiquette from Rocket Power. "Party Wave!!!"

 

I'm finding myself more and more po'ed out in the water. Just the circumstances: work, timing, tide, conditions, crowds, winds, whatever

East Coast surfers are probably the grouchiest of the bunch because of the above

 

Fun, onshore and messy on Monday here in Maryland. Tuesday may have been the best surf I have seen in a year or two. Not big, maybe head high, but long peeling lines and pretty mellow crowds. My bing dharma was on fire! Wednesday was still fun but had a SE wobble to it that only increased throughout the day. Surfed the morning, went to work, then surfed low incoming virtually alone. Lots of local chop but the sets would rise out of it and were rippable.

 

Yep. Crap swell. Only made slightly less crappy by the utter and complete lack of swell all summer. Highlight: watching 100 people surf happy Hampton on waves that could be best described as non-existent on Monday morning when the swell was supposed to hit, but hadn't actually come ashore yet.

I had 2 sessions, one bordering on fun, and the other on my longboard, which bores me ****less to be honest.

 

If it makes y'all feel any better, we have been suffering a similar fate out here on the opposite end of the continent.

Had a few days of decent swell ruined because the lineup was filled with 50 Russian 20-somethings on those fvcking rubber Wavestorms and Gnaraloo's learning how to stand up by paddling straight to the peak, and paddling for every single wave whether iit was being ridden or not.

No less than 4 times was I almost hit by these clowns paddling and splashing like maniacs while I was trying to avoid them on the paddle back out. One guy paddled straight for me in the whitewash, then lost his board an inch from my head as he flailed trying to stand up. I got about an inch from his face while I screamed at him, and his response was like listening to The Beatles White Album being played backward. Well what the hell do you say to that?

Needless I say more, the sheer kookery put a severe damper on what normally would have been a fun day of surfing.

Chin up buoys, Fall is coming. And I think it's gonna be a good one.

 

Not the best i have seen in the past two years here in jersey. Not even the past two months.

 

I guess "best" is a relative term. For me it was the combination of a mellow crowd, warm water, and fun waves after what I think was the worst summer in almost as long as I can remember

 

It was crap here but obviously better south by you, yankee and vb/hatteras

 

Is there an etiquette movie for them to watch? It gets scary when kooks get aggressive. I don't know their rules.

 

Actually had a longboarder the other day tell me, if a wave comes through and you want it, just let me know and I'll back off. I think he felt bad for dropping in on me.

 

Unc2b...I concur

I only hit that 1st spot in winter usually

Monday night at the other though, wtf at least 100 people on 4 peaks...Friday dp (actual dp) though was easily the most consistent session I've had in monnnths with only about 20 people out and two dooshy supers - I got aboot 20 waist-chest peelers rights and left in just under two hours - that was fun
