I was deep enough to stay inNice. But where’s the rest. Not a double barrel yet. Haha.
And now you know what the back of my head looks likeWinner!
everything but talking to people in the water. I like to talk to people until they paddle away to the next peak.Always check 3 specific spots at IB.
Always take hochieman trail. Take newbies down after or during rain to break em in.
Shores on south wind and light period.
If someone is overly aggressive start being overly aggressive back.
Never paddle for the 1st wave a set on a big day.
Never leave surf racks on the car.
If someone mad dogs you in the parking lot at your own spot, take note, and burn them in the lineup.
Do not paddle out with more than 2 friends.
Breakfast burritos after dawn patrol. California burritos for any other time of the day.
Never be impolite to anyone who is respectful (especially in Hawaii).
Don't take surfing too seriously.
Don't take surfing too lightly.
If a peak shuts down after 15 minutes at a beachbreak, dont wait any longer. Move up the beach.
Don't talk to people in the water. Surfing is more important than conversation.
Sit further out if that guy who is sitting further out than everyone is getting the best waves. Then remind him he doesnt own that area in the lineup until he gets mad and goes away.
Rules of surfing:another one who misses the point of this thread.
and “jock”. Lol.
on Your next surf session you will have a Britney Spears song stuck in your head as punishment.
oops, I did it again!
Too complicated.Rules of surfing:
1 There are no rules/Rules are meant to be broken
2 There are 'agreed to' conventions that appear to be rules
3 There are observations that appear to be rules
4 Every "rule' seems to have its opposite/contrary corollary that makes sense in a given situation
5 Thread drift can provide some insight or breath new life into one, why fight it?
6 Sometimes, just one really good duckdive can really make a lackluster session shine.
Ah this is a perfect example of point 4 I made above.Never paddle for the 1st wave a set on a big day.
Great points, especially 2. I too will break the rule of don’t go on first wave of set often unless it’s doing something weird where the first wave isn’t coming togetherAh this is a perfect example of point 4 I made above.
If you are in the right place for the first wave of a set, big or small, I see no reason not to go.
1 You get unblemished ride (no foam or weirdo bashwash)
2 You show others the power of rotation of the line-up
3 No guarantee the rest of the set will be better than the first or you can get to the other waves
4 You get to see others riding wave on the paddle back out
But you know, I have skipped the first wave of a big set for some of the following:
1 Too great a risk of getting caught inside
2 Too many people on the inside are in the way or are going to paddle to the shoulder and get in my way
3 Sometimes the wave shift during a set so that there is no residual crap left over from the previous wave
4 "The 3rd wave is always the biggest anyway"
Here, nevah. Above hh @ 18 seconds, catch it or not you’re headed for duck dive city. No channel for you.Great points, especially 2. I too will break the rule of don’t go on first wave of set often unless it’s doing something weird where the first wave isn’t coming together
