Once it's regulated by the govt they can also whine and hold protests to get the govt out. Cause if a leftist isn't actively whining they feel like they'll implode.

      @@Surfgod90I disagree. I believe with advanced surfers the ego comes from them knowing they are the best of the bunch, and them beginning to believe that they have a right to act a certain way in the water because of it. Many of them selfishly feel the waves belong to them, and that if you’re a less talented surfer then somehow you’re less deserving of their respect in the water, and subsequently less deserving of waves. Guys act like fools for a variety of reasons, not just because beginners get in their way.

      @@marcvince1261The best surfers will always get more waves of course, their ability to read an ocean and put themselves in optimal positions for waves will always ensure that. It sounds more like you’re talking about localism and certain people feeling like they’re entitled to waves at a certain beach because of how often they frequent that spot. We’ve all seen this tribe-like localism, where certain surfers will catch wave after wave after wave while paying others no respect or sharing the bounty of the ocean with them. This isn’t what surfing SHOULD be, but in many places it’s what it is, and it’s guys like you who’ve clearly drank the kool aid in regards to this mentality that helps ensure it stays this way.

      The point is that if surfers(not surfing) become increasingly a safety risk to others and themselves, then regulation must be implemented, if that invites police to upheld the safety of others then so be it.
      In the US, this was done in the hiking and fishing community as well. It was becoming out of control for their own safety and the environment around which they conduct their hobby, that rules and regulation are implemented. Though the policing is non apparent, and fisher and hikers respects it as they realized it was done for their own safety and overall quality experience.

    Some sort of regulation is clearly needed when "public services" (surfing spots) get crowded and self-policying is not working. A license is ideal, which would merely evaluate surf etiquette. The local governments in conjunction with local surf schools can pull it off. It does not curtail your "freedom", it will organize it a bit.

    When I was learning to surf another surfer almost drowned me like this twice in the same day. I was practicing far from everyone else. Then this guy continues to surf wave after wave slowly moving up the water towards me. Then I accidentally cut him off CAUSE I DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IM DOING REALLY. The first time he grabbed my board and immediately took a wave. Then it pulled me under and I couldn’t get my head above the water cause I was getting dragged by my ankle. Then the second time I had untethered myself from the board. And when I fell off he was just passing by and takes my board and goes SUPER far from me and I have to swim back to shore cause I’m not the best swimmer. I never got that board back. None of the other surfers there would help me get it. I guess they saw me cut him off or knew him or something. Haven’t wanted to surf ever since unfortunately. Cause it was really fun. After watching you guys show for a while it seems all surfers are like that.

    If you take a step back and remove emotions from the situation, these accidents are happening because of a high density of surfers in the same area with a large variance in ability.
    There are two obvious solutions, to spread out and reduce the density, or figure out some priority system to communicate who has right of way.
    I propose a series of lights should be installed on the front and back of the surfboard, and that a regulated system of hand signals be developed so as to maximalize surfer communication.

    I'v been surfing for 38 years, have decent skils, I grew up surfing in a spot known in Brazil for its localism, and I swear, I will never be so stupid, childish, selfish, and simian to the point of fighting with someone over a wave. For me everyone is welcome 🤙🏾✌🏽

    The really good surfers are usually gentlemen it’s the try hards that cause trouble and scene queen on
    There are savage injuries that can happen in the surf that’s why there’s a rule of not dropping in on someone else

    I've only went surfing a few times. Of all the activities I've done in my life this was the one with the least welcoming environment and the most territorial people. Not even close
