Kookiest locals???

Feel like I saw one today. I dubbed him The Mayor of Porto Tower 45. He was paddling for everything and missing most. Finally we are next to each other, he's deeper but still not up to his feet. So I take it. He was the only guy I dropped in on, and it was 100% with intention. I hear "Fuck man!" He's on a Neck Beard. I kinda keep my eye on him and keep my distance. So many nice little peaks it was easy to avoid him but still hang nearby. He keeps missing most waves and Huntington hopping on others. I thought I flailed but man, he's a total spaz when he does make it up.
I get one in and realize he had just exited too. "Oh fuck" I think, here it comes. He starts yelling about etiquette and how long I've been surfing and I should take a lesson. Then he says, it's a big world out there, other people exist besides you. I say, man I backed off of every other wave someone was on and he says yeah mostly but I saw you drop in a few times and I say no man, I backed off every other one. Then I said thank you for explaining and I kept walking and he kept yelling.

Anyone who paddles for a wave, misses it, and then paddles for the next one like nothing happened deserves to be burned. Wait until the next set for redemption.
BTW, I like the "Thank you for explaining" line. That's pretty good.

Windansea, 7/24/2004:
Very small surf, but since it was my last day and I had most of the morning, I decided to jump in. Wanted to surf at San Onofre with the alt.surfing.longboard crew, but nobody wanted to play. So I settled on good old Windansea.
At least there was virtually no crowd--mostly younger guys apparently skipping school. However, a couple of these kids were punks who were obviously not all there. They were actually hassling me, first whispering about my longboard, then innocently tossing things (kelp bulbs) at me, and even yelling while I was riding something like, "Go back to Clairemont." WTF!?!
Finally, another kid (their friend) paddled up to me and said that his friend (one of the two perps) wanted to know if I was from Surfshot.com (I had my disposable camera wrapped around my neck). I took the opportunity and paddled up to the two guys, right into their faces. Asked them pointblank in as demanding a voice that I could muster, "What brah, you like ask me something?"
You could almost see them backpedaling as I approached them, hesitant on what to do next--that cracked me up. Cautiously, they asked what I was going to do with the photos. I told them that it was for my personal website and that I was sensitive to the localism there.
This kind of eased they guys up a bit. They thought that I was going to "expose" the break more than it already has been (pretty funny really, considering that it is one of the most populous spots along the coast).
The kids were tripping on my board. I told them I borrowed it from my good friend (the famous) Tom Tweed, who is in the Windansea Surf Club. They were like, "Dude, that board gives you executive privilege, man." I just had to chuckle to myself.

HI Surf Advisory Session 546 -- Executive Privilege in SD
hisurfadvisory.com
A long time ago there used to be a pier near there we called sh!t pipe and it got pretty good. That was a long time ago. The little jetty is a joke. So is Pratt's Reef. I've seen that place trying but never really doing it.
There’s this guy that surfs Terramar and shoots his board at groms…
Oh man I was at a restaurant bar having a drink and these two women, mother and daughter, were chatting me up. Turns out they'are Dume locals, house in Malibu somewhere. I was this close to giving them my business card, either one would have been fun.
I've been driving by for two years, never really seen it working. Usually more bros in the lot than in the water. But I don't know anything. From what I hear Nicolas Canyon SB has a local crew that can get nasty.
never had any issues at zero's and im no regular there. couple lazy side eyes in the lot while checking but once in the water its all gravy, find my spot & get plenty of waves.
Not a single one of those rides was worth recording.
If you're goofy I suppose it's worth it. Plenty of other waves nearby. Been here two years and didn't know that was Zero's...wonder why its called that.

That reminds me.
This one morning I'm sitting in my car at Seaside along the red "No Parking" line for a brief minute or two checking the 1-2 ft conditions.
So you know how the asphalt meets a wide sidewalk before the sand begins?
Guy in a truck pulled onto the sidewalk section and slowly pulled up alongside me blocking the view of the water and leaned out a bit to stinkeye.
He wasn't watching the road (sidewalk) cause he was too busy looking at me.
Then he gunned it.
Well, there were two women walking on the sidewalk right in front of his truck... good thing he looked where he was going and swerved just in time because he almost plowed them both.
Then he goes to park and I see him pulling out SUP sh!t and heading towards Tabletops. lol.
this guys pretty kooky...

I used to get looked at for riding a SUP in Southern California.
I’m 6’3 and about 240
Everytime anyone would vibe me or say something I’d just paddle up and ask if they had issues and of course they never did
