as a beginner/what frustrates you the most?

[surfhobbit]

what i really hate is getting caught on the inside. i.e catching the first wave in the set and then spending the nest 6 or 7 ducking like crazy. not fun in big surf

Couldn't agree more. I need to be more patient and not always go on the first wave... especially if I've been waiting a while out back.

what bothers me the most is "expirenced" surfers who act as if they are better than u because they have been surfing longer, but most of the expirenced surfers i know are very helpful

There are people who surf, and there are surfers... which are you?

My only purpose in life is to find a girl who doesn't get bored when I'm in the sea and is always looking at the right times.

hee hee - how about finding one who wants to go out too?

Are you flirting with me pobbles?

there is nothing worse than being exhausted that morning and trying to paddle out into over head. sometimes you just wanna let it take you away.. when i say exhausted i also mean hung over

Yep - there are a few - there is one certain person down at Saunton who is VERY good, but has a habit of aiming his board at people 'in his way' without a thought as to the damage he could cause...... He's trashed a few boards (others, not his) and nearly ran over me on one occasion and it seems to be his little ambition.........

Heads up for people, watch out for a certain purple longboard piloted by a proficient, but rather w*nkerish local surfer who shall remain nameless........

However - this could be turned around - what about 'inexperienced' surfers who think they are better than they are and sit in innapropriate places in a line up (just deeper, just inside, just closer in) thinking they are giving themselves priority.

Or the ones that paddle out into the best section of a wave?

Or the ones that paddle for every wave, but make next to none??

Or bail their boards because they can't turn them?

We all make mistakes - as long as there's an apology or a wave, then I'm cool ..........

nah i meant those guys who talk mad xxxxx because they can surf better than you and they act as if they rule the ocean, like for example me and my best friend jake are just learning to surf and jake ate xxxxx one day on a nosedive and this guy tells jake he should have never even picked up a surfboard. thats what im talking about

[Surferforlife]

i fleshin' cant stand paddling back out ... the waves coming one after the other constantly falling off my dam board it pisses me off ! other then that i pretty much have fun even on pretty small waves just to be in the water with a surfboard makes me happy
