Doesn't matter how good you are, dropping in on someone is a dick move. Newcomers don't always understand how it works, they are just having fun ... teach instead of antagonize.

[@lekilimeandonsa9236]

No the tourist should get some respect to the locals not the other way around what if a dummy came to your surf spot and was being a kook getting in your way and stuff my dad would slap them or run them over they should not have been there the kooks should go to a place were it’s small and there is on one so they can’t irritate or get someone hurt in the old days they would fight ANYONE that gets in the was or is being an idiot but now days there all pussy and call the cops

[@squarecracker]

@@lekilimeandonsa9236 Sorry but that's just not the way it is anymore. Kooks are free to paddle out at the most advanced spots and shit up the line up and if you say anything you are the bad guy. When I was young i wouldn't even THINK about paddling out around the good guys. You just knew not to do it. These days anything goes.

In climbing if you see a begginer belaying in the wrong way or top roping from one point or stucked in a route they cant get out you go there, teach and help trying not to be an asshole. I don't understand that culture in surfing, mother nature belong to all of us and we should teach not hate... pd: opinion from someone who has surfed 2 times just to have fun...maybe o don't know the culture but i find It a bit rude.

[@TheUltimateWriterNZ]

@@Dkdkdkbcn it's ego - people think they deserve the waves if they have (in their eyes) a higher skill level. They also have short memories of when they were learning. It's the worst thing about surfing.

it's not a question of tourist and local. Don't opposite them. Simply they are some rules to know when surfing!! thats it!!

Back in the 80s there was one car load of Balinese who would show up at Canggu sometimes. They weren’t from Canggu. Everyone would go back to town about 11 or 12 in the trade season and you could score it in the wet season with just a few. I had it many times by myself. Glad I had it in the 80s and 90s. Not many bothered with Pererenan.

[@r.y2902]

In 2009, I went to Canggu surfing a couple times and it’s very uncrowded and the placr almost like poor village.

[@jrcxley]

First there in 1970, way before the Balo's got into it. Man, my first wave ever was at NusaDua. Saw one guy surfing his nuts off at 4 ft perfection. He came in and I got a boat out and had it all to myself for hours. It was just so uncrowded back then.

[@jrcxley]

Way back in the 90s I also remember van loads of Balo's showing up and just taking over the main break, but we just moved down and found a good uncrowded peak to ourselves. Also remember sitting back having a jaffle and coffee looking at Chungu getting better & better. Such a great wave.

[@edgeofugly]

@@r.y2902 The Bali tourist boom from 2012 onwards have really change the Bali landscape fast like a lightspeed. First it was Kuta, then it become a cesspool of drunken tourists and fighting. Then it was Seminyak. Then it turned to expensive resorts and hotels place. And now it's canggu where many hip cafe and restaurants have keep popping up.

[@edgeofugly]

@@jrcxley you were so lucky. I wish I was in 70s Bali where only plenty of surfers visited and surfing and to witnessed Bali in authentic way before mass tourism change the place so drastically. And if you want to surf and see the authentic local area, visit Sumatera region. Still not crowded

[@PutuSurfboardrepair]

Mantaf bli,surfingnya bagus kapan2 mampir ke medewi ✌✌

[@chrisb4419]

If you're dropping in YOU'RE the kook. Local shmocal, Don't you have the right board or enough strength to have etiquette and priority? LOL

[@r.y2902]

I am sure you are not really a goof surfer or at least, haven’t gone surfing long enough to experience, to meet people who don’t share turns. I dropped in on someone who just got a wave, cut the line up, and paddle into another wave without letting another surfer go first. If a surfer finish catching a wave, wait a few more wave give turns to others, or else, don’t get angry if someone see them as dckhead and dropped in on them. So no, there are people who dropped in on someone who are actually not the kook.

[@chrisb4419]

true, gotta take turns on a set up wave/point, small take off, but entitlement is a whole other thing.

[@chrisb4419]

more volume, sit out back, show everyone how good you are. No one owes you a wave, and if you stuff someone in a barrel, YOU are the kook.

[@coolmatterstome]

Does it stay glassy all day like that most days or do the winds kill it by a certain time?

[@Surfer-og5lt]

The trade winds usually give it a bit of bump starting from around 10am-noon. It rarely stays glassy all day in Canggu. But due to the long range swells it is normally still rideable all day long unless the wind really picks up. Thanks for watching! :)

Never thought that way. But sounds fair. As long as they pull off. Just looking at Chungu. First surfed there in 1970, and a lot of years after that. It's a fantastic wave. But what comes spewing out of the river is disgusting.

[@mithraneere7901]

So many people out on not a great day.

[@RavenAndrew1]

Not a drop in if they are way too deep! I never get mad if i'm too deep and some pulls in. If i can make it i always call out.

[@bloblablah7409]

the balding guy @ 1:08 and 4:13 is a total kook and an absolute hazard to everyone's safety out there. At 1:08, the other surfer was already standing up and riding the broken wave and this guy takes off in the mush. At that point the other surfer has priority as he took off way before baldy yet baldy decides he wants to ride right up next to the poor dude. You can even see him checking his board for any damage afterwards. At 4:13 I would agree he had priority and that other surfer should not have dropped in, however, you just don't ride that close to someone just cause you're mad they dropped in on you. I've been dropped in on plenty of times and sure it makes me mad sometimes and I might even let them know verbally they messed up but never would I ever ride that close to someone like that. It's a hazard to myself, the other surfer, and more importantly- my board. Can't stand people who surf like that, they bring such bad vibe to the line up and are never fun to be around. I mean look at everyone's faces at 4:33 when he's paddling for the wave - they look like they don't wanna be anywhere near him!!

[@robarmstrong322]

always give way or waves to the locals in Bali, if you dont then its game on with the locals....after awhile they will let you know when to have a wave... thats my experience in Bali

[@adamlorden5666]

Lol it's pathetic to think that you own a wave

[@teza5876]

I went on one trip they (very experienced local guides) took us to different beaches each day and the locals had placed a bunch of straight spikes in one beach because they were sick of tourists. We didn't see it until the tide went down. We didn't go to that beach again that week even though i think the guides already knew about the spikes and i suspect they were guiding us in waves that avoided them.

In addition to surfing better, a local should also know the priorities better ... if he drops the wave, whatever happens, it's his fault !!! Last summer in Tuscany I was watching young people taking a surf course, an instructor came up to tell me that it was dangerous to swim among the boards (we do not have restricted areas like in France). I replied that I was looking at how his kids didn't know precedence and that the foam boards aren't quite like a fiberglass ones without a noseguard ... at that point he realized he had to worry more about his children and his way of teaching.

[@TheUltimateWriterNZ]

No one teaches how to co-exist in the line up at these surf schools - a 10 minute chat about priority, localism and etiquette could save everyone some headaches and teach beginners some really robust rules to take out on the water with them.
