@lukeguinaldo: Should I tell more stories like this?

David2676 :

this all goes out the window if the person can fight better than the local.

eklektosangelos :

what if we did this at the gym lol, get off the bench buddy, im a local

Zaria Lane :

It’s called California, never call it “Cali” or we know you’re a tourist! 🥰

BzDave :

I don’t think anyone deserves anything. But if you’ve been there and you’re local and you know the break, then you should be able establish position much more successfully than any newcomer. But if they beat you to a priority position, then it’s their wave.

Ry :

But I will say what this guy did wasn’t cool don’t just paddle right back out and take next wave, too many people do that — I’d just say next time “hey dude if you could just not paddle right back out and take the next wave after getting one I’d appreciate that not trying to be rude” something like that gotta do it eventually

user6434134109946 :

Let your surfing do the talking. Those that rip hard and mastered the craft get waves wherever they are.

presidiogal :

As a kid from Palos Verdes, I know localism in surfing.

Gabrielle :

Haha dude the ocean is nature the waves are gifts, never get into a fight over something that nature gives us…just take the next wave and let skills do the talking

Sunburnt2021 :

Deserve is a strong word. Screams entitlement.

Olaf :

so never go on holidays with your board then???

nature music lover :

Hawaii is different! Great! You took the higher ground, but I don’t believe locals deserve more. Sharing is where it’s at!

Bulllfrog :

I’m weaeewwyy maawwd ..ooouuuuuu

Benoit Boussuge :

Even you know it’s terrible because if someone is inside and better than you then you leave priority

Micah :

Localism shouldn’t exist unless your at an uber crowded word class break the idea of it is so stupid

user09248837484 :

I mean, whoever gets the wave gets the wave. New folks don’t know who locals are. Act local and get to it first?

doomayerman :

my guy, it all makes sense but you are living in a bubble. youll think its interesting if you look deeper! truly

Maek :

That’s dumb, whoever gets there first should get the wave

Rick Wood :

Your niceness will always prevail! don’t change a thing!

Permanent markher A :

lol it’s ok to be nice

Rileyy :

Cozygoth :

Actually, you responded like a well regulated person..:

karinajimenez1 :

I surf once a week, because I live an hour from the beach :) :/

jimmystaal1 :

Sounds like you dropped in on him.

Harmz :

Bruh how tf do you know who goes everyday

James Kafantaris :

Just say it how it is, “Hey bro, don’t show up here and paddle past us and call us off waves.” Then if he does not have a humble response, say “The last thing you wanna do is talk back.”
