Why can't vals stay at home? Part 2?

Question

Dude, they trash the local lineup here in Malibu.

They are dangerous and out of control of their boards.

They do not take the time to learn surf etiquette.

First point is not a beginner break...to crowded!

Answer 1

1. Rememder, you were a beginner once too.

2. It's part of the sport

3. Get up and paddle out earlier, it's better for you anyways

4. Move yourself to a more secluded break

5.They'll be gone once summer is over

6. It's not "your" break.  The Ocean is free, this is America, not n**i Germany

7. Talk to the rookies, and gently explain to them the local etiqutte.  They will appreciate it, and it will keep matters safer.

8. Recomend to them a nice "beginner" break, they'll appreciate that, and may try it out and leave.

9. Become part of the solution.  If there is no solution, then just deal with things the way they are.  Complaining rarely solves anything.

10.  It will get worse as the sport progresses.  If you don't like it, you should quit surfing and find religion.  Try reading Jesus' "sermon on the mount".  It will help you deal with your anger issues.  

11.  I was born on a volcanic island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, spent 7 years in the US Navy, been 1,000 ft below the ocean surface, sailed in 40' seas in weather so bad that it knocked 2 planes out of the sky, I've surfed 20 years in the Atlantic, Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico, I kayak, row crew, and snorkel, and I'm telling you that the Ocean is FREE.  It belongs to no one, but if it did belong to anyone, it would belong to me (not some one dimensional local), and I lay no claims to any "surf spot".  

12.  I have never surfed Malibu, but if I ever did, and someone paddled up to me and told me that it was a "locals only", you had better believe that I am going to run their @ss over.

13.  The Malibu break is a lovely break.  I wish I had a break like that up here where I live, but all we got up north is a bunch of c**p.  I'll trade a crappy crowdless break for a good crowded break any day.

14. So calm down.  Keep it safe.  Keep it courteous.  A little bump on a surfboard rarley hurts anyone.  Enjoy what you got, and be thankful that your live in Malibu and not in the 100+ degree valley.  The valley boys deserve a few tastey waves too.

Have fun, and happy surfing bro.

Answer 2

I totally agree with you.  Just yesterday i was surfing a local break and It was packed with kooks.  Guys on kayaks, spongers, swimmers, tourists on softboards and even some normal locals who can't show any respect.  I cant see how people dont understand the concept that if someone else has a wave already to stop and get out of their way.  I was smashed off my board by some guy who snaked me and then bailed out.  Im so sick of these ridiculos people out in the water! surfing is all about fun but its hard to enjoy when a bunch of kooks take your wave

Answer 3

Thumbs up to Sera for being cheeky.

Look, this is why everyone passing through here looking to surf gets my take lessons and talk to your surf shop speech. There's way more to surfing than just grabbing a board and heading out. Like the chick on here who wanted to know if it was possible to surf with her sunglasses on so she could "look good."

Posers suck. Drop in on them and see how they like it. Everyone wants to tell you to not be aggro but sometimes you gotta be.
