Learning

Surfing etiquette. If you don’t follow this, you are a kook . . . or worse. If you don’t follow the rules of the game, people will dislike you. Some people will hate you. Others will even try to beat the hell out of you. I am a non-violent person, but failure to follow the rules of surfing makes my blood boil.

This is what it’s all about: riding the waves.

Ah, wave selection. The difference between having a horrible session of close outs and walled waves and a great session of lined up corners and huge hacks. Pay attention.
