[@kairandbellinger1973]

THE 'Surf Etiquette' is made up by local surfers so they can take all of the good waves. It's that simple! Recreational surfing is no different than playing basketball at a public park. If you know how to swim and surf, Go surf! Take off on a few waves do a few turns and have fun. Talk to each other. As a former YMCA lifegaurd - safety first. I fully believe everyone should Surf inside their skill level - Not on the edge of their skill level. Life Guards should police line-ups for safety. 100% believe that. To Local Surfers - You are not pro's, you don't own beaches, and 99% you're not indigenous. I pay taxes, I am a super nice guy, I check in with folks, I count the heads, and when it's my turn - I simply say with a huge smile and positive energy. "All right you all, Im gonna grab that next good one". Then I go. Unfortunatly, because of KZbin - local surfing crews are taught to determine am I good enough, or did the do the right respect dance to surf from 'THEIR' peak, and that I should go play on the inside with the tourist. LOL! Locals at Orange County, San Diego etc... They say things like "You need to show respect when you're in someones elses home" "You need to show respect to that guy and let him own the peak because he's been here 20 years." They watch too many Nathan Florence, or This is Living. videos. They think deadly Pipeline rules apply to the 1-4ft tame waves in California. This whole conversation is silly and doesn't matter. Around the world it's different. When I have traveled, before I paddle out I ask Indigenous folks about their beach. Which is the same eitquette I use here in the Southwest when I work with tribes. The American beaches are public - end of story. Let all recreational surf together, It's tons of fun. Oh, and no one cares how many identical 'off the lip' turns you can pull off at Malibu. LAST PIECE on ETIQUETTE - It goes both ways. Example: At Malibu, there are 3 take offs spots, however, a strong surfer can surf through all 3. THATs not cool at all. Take off on the outside get 4 turns in then pull out and let the next surf hop on that wave. Etiquette can go both way I've been out in Hawaii, and listened to Locals tell a US Marine, who just paddled out, that he wasn't welcome in the line-up with his rental board. He said "I can out-swim all of you, Im here on a weekend pass and never tried surfing hawaii" - they didnt care and sent him packing. Let me get this right, Your family had the money to buy beach front home in Hawaii 20 years ago and now you can tell a tax paying, putting their life on the line for your freedom, US citizen and Marine that they can't surf???? Becuase, you think its somehow your beach?? Just surf people.

[@dude4173]

This is exactly why I just surf where I want, when I want and however I want. Nobody has done a thing to me yet because what are they gonna do? Surf all along WA, OR and CA. I play nice until others stop trading waves - from there I just go for every single wave I want. If you drop in on my wave, I’m dropping in on yours. We’ll just play the game and that’s that. F localism.. don’t care. Attack me, my car, etc.. I’ll come for you through the legal process. 😘. Love you all…just shut up and surf. You’re nobody, you don’t own anything, nobody cares. We’re all equal 💙

[@liualen1049]

You are absolutely right. We must respect the local surfers and businesses, but that does not mean that the property rights of this beach belong to them. When I worked at a surf shop, my boss and surfers shared the same concept. So if you do too much at sea, you will lose my respect as a human being. I often hear the examples he gives to others: It’s like when we go to a restaurant and have to queue up, but suddenly someone cuts in the queue and says: Because of me I have lived here for 10 years, so I can jump in line, and you have to listen to me because this is a culture that has been passed down from nowhere. I can also decide whether you can enter this restaurant!! Cultures and beliefs all over the world. It’s different, but you have to follow this culture, otherwise I won’t even let you in the public parking lot at the beach!!!] The pick-up person also had people who claimed that they had lived here for 15 or 20 years and came with them to travel. A friend intervenes. I have met many good surfers. Everyone chats on the sea, and they are very happy to share their experiences, such as which places are dangerous and which places are safe, delicious local restaurants or attractions, and remind us not to stay. They even took the time to correct my posture mistakes, just like the kind-hearted locals we met on the trip. However, some surfers become different when they go to the sea. Don't say it is because they are worried about each other's safety. You can use this kind of violent and reckless attitude. This is not the surfing culture that has evolved to civilization now. Maybe it is like this in unpopular wave spots, because most local surfers want to protect surfers who have never been here before and tell them that now It's dangerous here. Don't rush in without knowing your skills, but there's no need to use such a barbaric method. Doing so will only hurt the local reputation. Of course, unless he's intentionally blocking your car or leaving trash behind, then let's start a fight. But many open wave spots are public information, and many open beaches even have lifeguards. I'm thinking that maybe some locals will show off everywhere, just selfishly to protect their interests of being able to surf and park at any time? If they can afford it, they can buy the beach waters like nearby hotels, or go Build transfer operation, so that you can decide who can enter and who cannot, just like a restaurant.

[@internetgirrrll]

i agree but the rule to not drop in is just common courtesy and manners- if someone has the right of way on a wave u shouldn’t take that wave from them, especially if it’s in a crowded lineup like this where the chances of getting a wave are small

[@anthony452]

"Safety first" You realize if someone is going for a carve or air they might not see the person dropping in, right? It's WAY more dangerous to continuously drop in on people than to just try and convince the lineup that wave priority is just something locals made up. A lot of "surf etiquette" has to do with safety. Your statement claiming it's something the locals made up to take waves made me bust out laughing. Yea, the guys who immediately paddel out and take every wave are lame locals but acting like dropping in on waves is no big deal shows that you need to brush up a lil on the "hidden dangers" in surfing. I've seen plenty of beginner surfers get run over because they dropped in late on someone that didn't see them.
