Be courteous to everyone....

[D Slicker]

Just want to re-iterate the fact that there will be allot of people in the water next week. If you see someone in trouble help them.

For example I got separated from my ski last year and it was upside down bouncing off the sand. There were 3 people 10 ft from it looking at it. In other words go over and help. I will help anyone in trouble and would expect that from other people.

Be Courteous..

and let me add that it's going to be too busy to safely rip up and down the shore parallel to the beach. Keep your heads on a swivel and watch out for the other guy. DO NOT follow a wave in to shore. Not only are you taking that wave away from someone trying to hit it, but you can easily get hidden behind it and landed on.

one more thing to add if someone is on a wave it's there wave, be courteous and let me them have it

That is just a surf ediquite given....

The title reminds me of Steve Martin's song:

Be courteous, kind and forgiving,
Be gentle and peaceful each day,
Be warm and human and grateful,
And have a good thing to say.

Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike,
Be witty and happy and wise,
Be honest and love all your neighbors,
Be obsequious, purple, and clairvoyant.

Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus,
Be dull, and boring, and omnipresent,
Criticize things you don't know about,
Be oblong and have your knees removed.

Be tasteless, rude, and offensive,
Live in a swamp and be three dimensional,
Put a live chicken in your underwear,
Get all excited and go to a yawning festival.

Sounds like the event is going to be bigger than last year... is the riding area going to be any larger..? Saw a few people going outside the riding area last year. Beach patrol was yelling at hem but i dont think they could hear them.,

DO NOT follow a wave in to shore.

Best advise for any of the new-to-surf riders. Following a wave is a sure fire way to cause a collision.

For the most part this has all been done in the past. However, it only takes one oblivious individual at the wrong place and wrong time and fiberglass and bones get busted! So the more its said the better our odds, I hope.

As far as the helping others!!!!! Its a must!!!!! I know you could spend half your day doing it, but when it happens to yo shiot U will hope and wish someone gets your boat before its trashed too.

There will be ALOT of surf Nebies out there and that is part of what this ride is about, so help em out and next year they will be helping others!

The pro guys rule out there IMO, I notice they take ALOT of room in the nice breaking surf and dont appear to care where the rest of the riders are. I have noticed in my years of coming down there that they do know where you are but cannot control where you go, they control where they go better than the rest of us and assume you will control where you go. Just take the time to know who is arround you and where they are going.

Surf slashing is hard to do with 50 ski's on the water so if your gonna do it know you are good enough to miss the other 49 riders.

True !!!!
And some of the more experienced SURF riders need to watch for others as well, some of you know who you are.

Hell NO ! :hitwithrock: :veryhappy:

True.


Seriously.. and some of the new guys that have no clue about ripping waves and setting up for an Aerial. We need to welcome them to the play ground as well. and if they dont mean to cut off someone and do because they are not comfortable in surf and getting threw it.

I know I was the worst with this, and Get better and have to remind myself all the time.

The thing I cant stand is when you see someone charging for a nice face aerial and someone rocks right infront of you for a wave slash...

I love ripping surf and smackin the lip.. but if I see someone else setting up or charging face. I "wave" OFF...

Especially if you want to loft a backy you want to start further back and hit it. :bow28: jk.

so your saying dont get in your way? or is that a typo?

Also if you borrow someones beach cart.. take it back to them.. I hate chasing down my beach cart.

Yes he is...:smlove2:

I hate that too...

 

[yamasaki]

for the new guys, just remember, if youre gonna jump a wave and there's someone gonig for the same wave ahead of you, jsut watch out for a nosestab.... there's been lots of close nosestab calls (And some collisions) in the past.

oh, and if you borrow my boat and sink it, dont tow it back getting dragged upside down along the bottom of the ocean and make sure you get it running before you give it back to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and try not to ride parallel to the surf.. try to run perpendicular as much as possible.

ok, i'm done! :smile:

 

[QuickMick]

I dont have a problem staying out of anyones way. Especially people doing tricks.

basically, don't ride the BACKSIDE of the wave! uch::skull2::no: I witnessed a near big collision last year as well- someone could have been seriously jacked up.

 

[yamaslut]

good stuff...

do not follow anyone ever, especially when they are approaching a wave. Even if you are 15ft to the right, they may turn and do a re-entry and there you will be going head on...

what if they ride up YOUR backside? :moon: :dead1: :dance:

Then that needs to be off the beach & in the privacy of your own room. Butt to each his own.......:Flush:
