Stop bailing your boards!

I think things would be very different in kayaking, if there could only be one in the river at a time

Modern surfing is essentially a sport that revolves around waiting in line. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren't very good at sitting in line. I've had some good conversations in the water though. You also have a mix of different ages out there. You don't have too many opportunities, in the US at least, to interact socially with people of all ages in the same place. Sometimes in a lineup, however, I feel like I'm spending a lot of my time sitting on a very expensive bar stool.

I still bail my board when I'm scratching from the horizon and I know I won't make it so I swim through the face with the nose of my board in my hand, it's enough to pull it through the face, then there's also when a wave is literally going to break on your head and you have nowhere to go
Bailing does have it's time but not to ditch a 2ft whitewater or an unbroken wave

Holding the nose is way safer and effective I just think surf schools/ lessons need to emphasise on not being dangerous with your board etc.

Yes and apparently at least on my computer the report post buttons disappeared but if you mouse over where they are then you can report it. I did already so usually they get around to deleting this type of post pretty soon. Hopefully diegored hasn't taken over Surfing Waves

On a side note, how are you finding that hypto yung grom?

[YungGrom]

Lovely the extra volume is like a new pair of socks I love it, I think this board will be ridden until it die's It's perfect for the metre swell we continuously get (:

Awesome! Was that the one I sent you a link for?

Some beginner with a hard top bailed his board in between the swimming flags and just missed a guy I watch him constantly bail his board

Perhaps he doesn't know any better. Perhaps you should have a word with him and let him know.

yeah i agree. you can confront someone politely. the dude is trying to surf but forgets the surrounding where others surf as well.

I think it's about obvious when your paddling out in a designated swimming area on a hot day? You cannot forget you're right next to them

well yeah maybe he is just egoistic and stupid. but if you approach someone politely you try your best not to assume that.
some people are so busy trying that they forget everything around them. this is just me trying to think the good of someone.
