omg the second dude makes it look soooooo easy sweet

[Dec]

yea yea, Surfline.


If you watch the whole Malibu thing, some pro-surfer shows how to give them a board pull, or a light smack!


*I hope he was a big guy, cos when he paddled back into the lineup...ahem*

[Brian]

lol the last guy in the malibu movie is a dick

[Dec]

Why is he a dick?

You mean the pro, or the dudes that drop-in?

[Laguna]

I found it quite funny. If someone drops in on you or steals your wave just push them off

[HitAndRun]

If he pushed me, then i would probably start a fight and make him eat hes longboard, i never drop in on people, but this guy is pushing the limit, he can really get hurt if he picks the wrong guy to push (well maybe malibu isnt the place for tough locals but you know what i mean)

That first clip is a great example of another f**king xxxxx who thinks his s**t dont stink.

Big deal ...you get dropped in on...so what... like there is never going to be another wave????

This type of crap is becoming way to common, people yanking leg ropes cause the guys in front has dropped in, the push and shove...big f**king joke til some poor xxxxx gets seriously hurt or worse.

The second clip however is just farrrkken funny

[surferdude_scarborough]

i thought the malibu clip was fleshin hilarious. perhaps it was a bit too far yes but they shouldnt have dropped in.

For me I find biting peoples ankles works well....

lol lol lol id love to see that done it would be brilliant to watch!!!

I suppose watching it from here is funny as hell, but I doubt it'd be as funny if it was you it wsa happening too (Rogland pushing you off/pulling your board out from underneath...). Still, hes got some balls, and I swear you can see him laughing

[PapaW]

Heh I bet you've got visions of a sponger foaming at the mouth nawing on shreads or neoprean :p

[Driftingalong]

I've never surfed Malibu, so I don't know how things run around there...

I do believe the Malibu guy is a local w/ friends, so he's probably not too concerned about getting into a fight...

I don't drop-in on people intentionally and I'll kick out if I find out that I did. So, I don't think I'd be in a position to get pushed...

It might be extreme, but they shouldn't have been there and shouldn't have stayed there. I think one of them was staring right at the guy and continued on down the line. Personally I wouldn't be shoving people or tipping there rails, but that's just how I am. I like the Stinkbug; just making fun of the dude!

Some idiot kite surfer cut across me today when I was paddling, he thought he owned the sea the way he was surfing. Theres nothing like getting water sprayed on you from a kitesurfer

[surferdude_scarborough]

some idiot dropped in on me on saturday one one of the few waves i was going to make the section. i was just about to fly out onto the face and "attempt" some kind of manoevre when i spot this dude out of the corner of my eye take off on the wave n proceed to take it straight into the beach. i wasnt exactly happy as i left the situation thinking perhaps i should have been a bit more vocal
