You justify everything I've said Gav. Unless you are too dumb to realise it. Obviously you don't care about the rules. We could go somewhere quiet and talk about it. Maybe we could be friends if I decide it will be okay .
rules, i surf the alley mate, no rules out there, haven't you noticed. Come down introduce yourself, im sure we'll have a grand old time
today i got pulled over by the police
for speeding in a 20 km dw zone.
they checked out my bullet to make sure there wasn't any illegal modifications and let my off with a warning
Reading this forum was like experiencing surf rage first hand.
It appears that the popular vote from both sides is to maintain surf-rage at current levels.
Good to see we have so many intelligent surfers from both sides keeping the rage alive,,, excuse me while I vomit.
IMO respect is not freely given but is earnt, if locals want respect they should show some and if visitors want respect they should also show some. Dropping in, snaking, wave hogging ect will not earn respect no matter if your a local or a visitor!
Unfortunately this is not how it happens in the real world at popular surf spots but it would be nice if it did.
I don't think anyone would turn up at a pub they don't normally drink at and take a bar stool from one of the locals would they? But I haven't been to a pub that a local would say pi$$ of mate you can't drink here and steel your bar stool either.
Just my thoughts
anyone in the water that displays "surf rage" towards someone carrying a 9 foot pole deserves what they get lol
SUP=man with large stick, Surfer=no large stick
If you are not a local, how do you tell if someone is a local? To assume everyone is a local is giving the locals an advantage by default.
I find this funny, it's not meant to upset anyone although it probably will; Usually the locals are the ones behaving badly as they feel they have the numbers to back them up. How often do 1 or 2 people attack the locals?
To assist in identifying locals I have had 3000 shirts printed in various sizes and colors with "PISS OF TOURISTS BUT LEAVE THE GOOD LOOKING WOMEN" on the front.
I will pass them out at a break near you as soon as I can.
Phill
HC,
I saw the PISS OF TOURISTS AND LEAVE THE WOMEN shirts in Rye and Sorrento back in the 80's and they we worn by such enchanting people.
So you are saying the locals are aggressive when they feel like it?
It seems that many of you are justifying what localiser said by all your angry, spiteful and aggressive responses.
Now you'll give me a mouthful.
So predictable. Enjoy yourselves
yep....agree.
