check out this perfect wave Carter is on! it’s been super good at Bowls and everybody is super stoked.
**i got asked 4x already about the incident at Bowls with the older Japanese lady who tries to ride every single wave. a couple guys asked me who it was and i didn’t want to say. but a couple guys already knew who it was. and on top of that, i got 4 emails from friends in Japan who read that blog post. they all said “that Japanese lady is 100% wrong. if you’re not a local, you should never disrespect locals. that is a world wide rule.” i teach my students this rule all the time so they know. if you break that rule in Hawaii, you will get yelled at if you’re lucky. i’ve seen surfers get punched in the face before, even women. so yes, let’s respect the locals, especially if you’re a visitor.
*i’ll keep on bringing this subject up because if you plan to travel to other parts of the world, the consequences are much worst. i’ve seen visitor girls drop in or talk back to local surfers before and guess what? the locals go and beat up the girls boyfriend. that’s embarrassing…
