Assassination

Courtesy in the surf is an important thing. Everyone wants to catch waves and enjoy themselves, as well they should, and so it’s vital that we show respect and consideration for other people. That means being aware of who’s got right of way, who’s been waiting for a wave and is next in line, and taking it in turns. By observing these few simple rules everyone in the line-up can get waves and have a good time, no one misses out, and there’s no aggro or shitfights. It’s a simple thing to do, and in our group of people who surf together it goes without saying: we wait for our turn, we make sure everyone gets enough waves, and, frequently, we share waves among ourselves, with two, three or more of us all jumping on and riding the same wave. It’s awesome fun, and, somehow, even more satisfying than catching a great wave by yourself. Having a mate there to share the experience with adds another dimension to it. Sharing is caring, after all, and we never fail to have a hoot. Howeve...
