why can’t body boarders and surfers get along???
a lot of times, i see guys or girls paddling out to places where they shouldn’t be. just by the way they paddle, i can tell if they are going to be in danger or not. this guy, i knew he was in a place out of his league. should i say “hey, i don’t think you belong out here?” or “hey, go in!” ummm… i use to tell people to go in before, well, until one guy told me “why, if you can surf here, i can surf here too” then he got pounded on the next wave and asked for my help. so now, i just watch and get ready to rescue if needed….
to all you surfers out there, know your limits. the ocean is a dangerous place and so many people die every year. we have a saying in hawaii:
WHEN IN DOUBT, DON’T GO OUT!!!
