@essentiallygem: I genuinely didn’t see him… I was with a coach and neither of us noticed him on the wave. Not intentional, just a learning moment 🫠 If you’re out there… I’m really sorry. 🙏🏼 📍Las Saladitas, Mexico #adultbegginersurfer #lasalditamexico #surflearning #surfreality #surfgirlcommunity
i don’t surf, but how does the priority system work? and why couldn’t he just go the other way?

I think he realised you were a rookie when you flailed your arms.

Seems like an activity where pointless rules have been added that sap enjoyment, to be honest.

based on his calm stance, placement of where he tied his leash and general look of confidence on a board, he should be at most slightly annoyed that you took his wave, especially when he should know you where out there with a coach (and likely not alone). and if he is annoyed, he should direct that towards your coach who sent you on that wave, and not you

It was pretty obvious that you didn’t see him and I think he saw that too, it’s fine.

As an outsider looking in he probably put it together fast that you were still learning

The ocean belongs to itself and we share it equally, with grace. You are allowed to enjoy the wave just as much as he is 🩵 🌊🩵

I’m a bit confused; how are you meant to know it’s his wave? It seems like you both would have set off at the same time, you’re going with the wave and he’s carving across it, so why would it be his priority? I’m aware some surfers get very angry about it but I can’t understand what the ‘rules’ are.

ive surfed for nearly 20 years now in NJ and truly do not understand why people are so aggro, I'm way too high and relaxing to give a fuck about a wave that nobody owns, I always give priority but my friends and I go when it's later/less known beaches

He should be happy to be out there. And he should be stoked that you’re having fun

You’re new and it’s a beginner beach, comes with the territory.

He can go catch more. You’re on a time schedule paying by the hour.

Why are most people assuming the guy is upset or somthing? He didnt seem that way to me at all. More like almost checking up in on you with the way he pulls up, fully in control.
