That's cool. Being born in a geographical place is a fascinating factoid.
reminds me of a few surfers at my local spot whose claims to fame is being a 3rd-generation local of this particular town.

They haven’t done anything with their lives but feel entitled to surf a particular wave because their grandparents worked hard to buy a house and provide for their families.

History has meaning. Roots have meaning.

P.S.
This place would be more fun if we could start a thread where we call out our local surf scene members on their bullsh*t
I'd have trouble believing there's anywhere with more local bullshit than Santa Cruz, even Hawaii

I know, it is just super lame to claim tough guy local at the place with such shitty shitty surf.

I think it’s even worse when people only surf their one break and don’t make friends with people at other breaks and go surf at other places.

Isn’t it better to make friends and be able to surf anywhere you want?

People who actually travel are not usually the ones that claim local status.

It's always the been-nowhere kooks, who's only achievement in life is that they were born some place by sheer luck, that claim local status.

Nationalism is a helluva drug.

It eats on feeble brains.
