Surfing Waves

Yep really bad, wasn't looking down the wave when I popped up, and dropped in on this guy who was trimming down the quite quickly. He didn't shout so the first I knew that he was there was............... when we hit each other. I didn't even realise that I'd done anything wrong until I'd recovered my board and started paddling back out. Then it dawned on me that I was an idiot and for us to have collided like that it must have been me in the wrong. Tried to catch the guy and apologize but he had paddled off.
I feel like a complete
And probably deserve to be on the receiving end of some of this
One of his fins sliced straight through the rail of my best board, but I'm glad it wasn't the other way around.

Found him on the beach later and said I was sorry.

it happens

if anyonehere says they have never dropped in on anyone they would be telling porkys. its easy to make the mistake

I have definately never dropped in on anyone or got in anyones way through not knowing where to paddle to.......







honest

i have never drop in on anyone












o no wait i have drop in on u

thats why phil knows we cant say weve never dropped in on anyone.








weve all dropped in on phil

I haven't

sometimes when my kneck is giving me jip i cant turn around a look so i have this huge blindspot. Fortunatly yo date i have only droppin in on someone a few times. And only one time intentionaly but thats a different story

i've dropped in a few times on people accidently and always try to apologize with a wave of the hand or something if i get the chance. sucks about your board getting sliced, definitely don't deserve that since the dropin was accidental.

always pays to have a second look before you go

i havent either..altho to be fair the beach i surf ive only ever seen one or two other ppl at so yea its all good. in other spots tho, i often paddle straight in to ppl ridin the line, argh thats frustrating

i definatlly have dropped in on someone...years ago at manobier,id only just started and i wa concentrating more on my take off than anything,then bam! hit someone lots of fist shaking and swearing! turns out he drinks in what was my local so i got to applogise later...he was ok about it
last weekend at hells mouth was rammed,hard to tell who was dropping in on who,at one point there were longboarders out back some in the middle and a few in the whitewater on foamies,so i got out and moved down to a quiter spot....happy day
