Photog on a soft top and 1 swim fin and Mason at V-land. Paddle out and ask either of them that question and report back to us.:drowning:

I love when lazy paddlers paddle out directly into the surf zone/takeoff zone. Go around lazy knickas

This exact scenario happened to me a few weeks back. Except in my case, it was a 50 yo women who decided the best course of action was to stop, stand up on the reef, and start screaming and yelling at me to go around and not hit her when I was 20 yards away. If she just paddled inside everything would have been fine. SMFH.

Explaining rules hurts people's feelings . . .

I had a guy yell at me for almost hitting him as he paddled frantically for the shoulder on like a chest high wave. "Bro,. that was close!"

You havent experienced real surfing until youve had someones board go over the falls and hit you on the head when you are in the barrel.
