Surf
with Responsibility and Respect
The
Surfers Number One Rule is to Never Drop-in on anyone. Dropping
in on someone is when you get in the way of the surfer on the main "peak"
of the wave. If a surfer is coming towards you, and you are on the "shoulder",
you can ruin a wave for both you and the surfer, and is very dangerous and costly.
This happens all the time, but mostly on accident. One simple thing to prevent
this is to look for the surfers around you, and DON'T DROP IN ON SOMEONE.
This is one of the most talked about subjects with all surfers, and can be
debated for hours upon hours. Waves tend to show every five minutes
for OK waves, and twenty to fourty five minutes for the better ones so it can
be hard to share them.
A great surfing experience is when you are able to ride at least one really "killer"
wave, two really great waves and three or more "OK" waves with in a
90 minute time period with no conflicts or injuries.
Good
luck and please remember the number one rule!
