Kommetjie

Quoting The missing Link:

Ive only surfed Long Beach (Kommetjie) & surrounds for a couple of years - but im in the water every day if there are waves, im an aggressive surfer in that I dont sit in 11-14 degree water just for the view, even though it is spectacular, I charge whatever is there all year round. Long beach has become a 'circus' in that I experience every hazard and inconsideration
possible from both beginners and locals, short/long boarders, guys girls, 1)Being dropped in on
2)Paddling around the inside
3)Paddling for and missing waves (then going for the next one as well, and missing it)
4)Taking a wave, paddling back to 'the line up'& taking the next wave as well
5)Lining up in front of me as I paddle onto a wave
6)Not making an effort to be out the way as I drop in
7)Not even looking in front when paddling for a wave to see if there is anyone
Not being able to control the surfboard, even in three ft. surf
etc, etc, etc...
So please if you do any of these things (Especially at Long Beaqch) and are not aware that it really spoils a session, refrain from doing them, be part of the solution & not the escalation of disrespect & unessecary aggravation, just do for others as you would have them do for you, may the stoke be with you.

work hard for good waves they dont just come to you.. no handouts

Hey

Just going back from surfing in California. Folks there are utter *&^#*+*!s. Still have dings from the local who dropped on me and later shouted that I should not be there in the first place.

I love the vibe @long beach where everyone has the right to get a wave, however good or bad he is.

Keep the good vibes around!!!

Yes. This ongoing debacle between short and long boarders. I admit to enjoying the increased surface area of my board (science) that allows my oldish body to enjoy a wave even among the masses. I do feel I'm selfish at times (sorry) and I hope to compensate for my high wave count by letting the folk with more performance gear show me how it's done. I do enjoy my craft and my outlook needs to be one of sharing. This comes with a mutual respect of each other.
