Today there was a guy sitting in the middle of the main pack doing something I had never seen before. After complaining loudly about the kooks all around him ("Look at this giant pack of kooks"), he started splashing the water around his surfboard, in each direction, every 30 seconds. It was as if he was trying to make the invisible surfers around him wet. My best guess is that he was trying to create a "circumference", a kind of warning to stay back. Was anyone else out today at Porto who saw this Zinc-covered psychopath? Maybe you know him. I paddled as far away as I could, which probably made him happy.
