Don’t be a SNAKE!

259

it’s been really crowded recently so i want to talk about surfing etiquette.  what is snaking?  snaking is when somebody is already riding a wave, then a snake will go behind the surfer and take off inside.  so that guy on the blue longboard was riding from the outside.  then that surfer taking off inside of him late just turned around and went.  that’s not cool.  so as i was watching this all unfold at Three’s, i was thinking what would i have done…the guy on the longboard doesn’t even know that somebody is behind him.  but the guy behind him is yelling “hey, hey, get off my wave!”  that’s such a distraction!  then the longboard sees him and pulls out.  now, what would i have done if i were the long boarder?  first, i would have taken off and went a little left to cut off that snake.  and if that snake kept on going, i would have did a cutback right into him.  and i were on my foil, i would have pumped 10 circle around that snake and never let him catch a wave after that.  haha.  opps, i think this pandemic is finally making me irritated.  just to see that made me upset.  i don’t like snakes at all, nobody does…
