Are you staying on the kid's swing?Just moved somewhere thats known for its localism and been getting nothing but friendliness back from my approach. A lot of the other foreigners that I see mostly do not, since they love to come with the 'OceAn BeLonGs tO evEryOne' attitude.
yeah, tried the adult one but got kicked out by this local dude who was born at a toilet nearby.Are you staying on the kid's swing?
While a agree with everything you said, I think it's good to point out that bully based "You can't have this cause it's MINE" localism is stupid and self defeating.Funny as he is I have to say im not a fan of how localism has been talked about last few years. Either its the small dick syndrom jokes or a picture of kala alexander kicking some haoles ass cause he looked at his wave.
Wish surf media would talk a bit more about what it really is.
They love to do the bullies suck approach, but why doesnt stab, for example, make an article/video explaining how it works on places as Makaha or Kauai? where surf culture exists for what it is and not as another way to sell boardshorts

I wonder how the surf schools that operate in my town would go over on Kauai? Last month I took my son for a dawn patrol at a spot in Puerto Rico that used to be pretty localized and still is to some extent. Depending on which locals are out you have to sit wide and get scraps. Couldn't believe my eyes when a surf school did a beach lesson and then escorted a bunch of tourists on foamies into the lineup. I knew it was all downhill when Surfline put a cam on that break years ago.Funny as he is I have to say im not a fan of how localism has been talked about last few years.

They operate on a daily basis here in Hanalei .... at smaller beach breaks and the Instructors, are local kids who grew up here, know the rules of the road and would get called out immediately for bringing a surf lesson of 4 to 8 people into the surf line up. They grew up here and know better than to do so. Rules of the road in surfing 101, on Kaua'i.I wonder how the surf schools that operate in my town would go over on Kauai?

The Inertia is the worst for this. Promoting the entitled victim mentality in surfing . . .Funny as he is I have to say im not a fan of how localism has been talked about last few years.

This is the way that things should be.They operate on a daily basis here in Hanalei .... at smaller beach breaks and the Instructors, are local kids who grew up here, know the rules of the road and would get called out immediately for bringing a surf lesson of 4 to 8 people into the surf line up.

Yeah, cause saying 'bullies are baaaad' sells more boardshorts. Its not good for the business to tell people they cant just paddle out and get every wave they want straight away. So they flip it all over and turn localism into what these kooks think it is.The Inertia is the worst for this. Promoting the entitled victim mentality in surfing . . .
This, or vanlife hipsters posting spots cause 'surfing is about sharing', bullshit, you just want all of your friends to say how cool you are for finding a hidden spot. Reassurance, ego...Don’t be a dick.
I won’t be a dick to you so don’t be one to me.
If youre being a dick I’ll let you know. Don’t care if it’s “your” spot or “my” spot.
Now what is considered being a dick is situational of course. If I paddle straight to the peak at “your” spot I’m a dick. If I do that at “my” spot then not so much.
These fucking “ocean is for everyone“ kooks are not only wrong (the ocean is NOT for everyone) but they are usually the most greed/dangerous/stupid/dickish people in the water.
Guy fucking fade drops on my wife at “my” spot, she says something to him and he says, “ocean is for everyone“.
Do it again and everyone gets choked out.
maybe you can say - 'i'll punch you a bunch of times or you can venmo @Muscles $50' - might as well make money rather than risk jailI've been dropped in on twice in the last few months and both individuals acted like I was the bad guy for getting pissed off at them. Lol. Sadly, I don't think there's really a way to correct it since no one is going to be punching or regulating where I live.
