Only a matter of time until one shows up at La Jolla Shores, which is pretty much a melting pot of total bozos, good surfers, and the older crowd.
SUP’s are commonplace in the morning lineup and it sucks. If Foils start showing up, I hope the paddlers take a stand because I will. Not on the same wavelength, literally and figuratively speaking. As if regular surfboards aren’t dangerous enough and n crowded situations, now we’ve added boats (SUPs) and oversized heavy duty fins (Foils).

Lineups here are fine with all the expert guys. They even have their own spots but if they do drop in it’s so far on the shoulder that it is a non issue. When the wide sets start closing the channel they clear out and head to outer reefs. Some spots have so many tigers that no one likes to foil cause the sharks have chased them like they chase oc 1 canoes. I’m more concerned with the aggressive crowd at the peak than some cruisers on the shoulder!

Seeing that guy fly by I could only imagine my head bashed in or my abdomen sliced open.
 Have you even seen a foil up close? Touched it? Leading edges are not sharp. Pro-foil propaganda. GTFO with those things. Stay away from surfers and swimmers, please. The only good thing about the photo below is that this guy was hit with his own foil...
