What's the deal with all the agg

This year so far was pretty mellow for me, but then again, if a spot gets too crowed I usually move down or up a block or two.

Funny thing about that, it seems people love the surf in a crowd cause aleast 3 ppl paddle out RIGHT next to me after I move. Happens more then half the time.

 

i tend to surf spots not many people know about so i don't really mind a crowd every once in a while as long as its not too competitive and i don't have to deal with it every day. by fall/winter the crowds are mostly nonexistent so I can surf spots that are usually packed without any hassle. last time i surfed a crowded spot was during Katia at the squan, and it was ridiculous. people pushing each other off boards, cursing each other out on the wave, carnage every where. then this one dude came with a surf kayak and i almost **** my pants getting caught inside with him on a set coming right at me. those things are dangerous and need to regulated a lot more in surfing lineups

 

Ecspecially when there wearing wetsuits....what's the point?

 

Story of long branch dude. Guys would rather drop way behind the peak on top of the jetty than give it up to a guy in position. It's like,'oh, if I can't make this, no one will'. It's ridiculous

 

Yeah I seen her I wasnt impressed at all with her or the goons sitting inside. You'd catch one off the rocks and work the sections and as you get inside they try to drop in like its there wave . Not on my watch homes

 

Most of the time the spots I surf are crowded, so it's fairly rare that you get a session in that's solo or just one or two other guys. But you do get those days. Yesterday I surfed a very well-known spot all alone for over an hour. It was pretty junky, but had some decent size.

I don't know who had more fun, though... me or the two guys killing the bass from the beach.

Bass are biten? Were they keepers?

 

I saw ONLY keepers. Been a lot of bait in the water since saturday... finally some fish chasing them.

 

Thanks bro, good to hear. Time to lube up my reel....

 

One of the goons tried that on me but a few choice words and the death stare put that to bed. That was a classic example of how aggro can work. I didn't have any problems for the rest of the day after that.

 

Granted, I don't know anything about this spot but...I just paddle for it. If the guy makes it, don't take off. If he doesn't make it, keep paddling and grab it. It's not dropping in unless you actually go. Also, if the guy has no chance in hell at making the section, I'll go then as well. If someone gets pissed at you for doing that....well, they're just a kook and need to clean the sand out from the cooter and stop whining.

 

this is a good method if its really crowded, but i've seen mistakes where the guy gets covered in whitewater and everyone thinks hes gone so they go, but he ends up staying on

 

yea, true dat happens...i'm super careful, but i've done it before....but it's been done to me FAR more times, so I don't lose any sleep about it. i guess my main point is that if people cannot tolerate honest mistakes, they should go play golf and leave surfing to those with a sense of humor (like gruvi! haha, sorry couldn't resist )

 

I have a strategy that works fine..
