I Hate Longboards and Hasslers
[warning: HUGE rant and lots of CAPS]
I went surfing with Laura and Josh (but lost them didn't see them once) Abs (who didn't like the crowd and size) and Kirsty (who I lost after a bit). We went C------ to try to avoid the crowds. I think it was a little less crowded than Fistral but FUCK ME the vibe was horrible.
The most beautiful evening and an absolutely stunning sunset. Gorgeous, perfect for me (unfit as I am) three foot waves, lefts and rights, plenty of peaks, quite clean. Love love love C------ walls.
HATE HATE HATE longboarder wave hogs and rude surfers. The problem with C------ is that it's no quiet spot like when I first came down with the boys - every fucker's onto it, and the real nub of it is that they're all competent surfers up to rippers. Now, I don't go in either corner ever, because it's a given you have to hassle if you want to sit on the best peak. BUT I do NOT expect to be snaked, run over, bailed in front of (fucking logs) and watch people be assholes to each other. I heard about aggro and I saw it myself. Boys, get a fucking LIFE.
By the time I got out, three okay waves under my belt (courtesy of the best board there ever was, nothing to do with me) I was proper angry. Longboarders were just taking every wave they could from the outside, meaning the rest had to pick off the leftovers, and they were hassling like mad. I ended up having to surf like I don't like (paddling for a wave in the hope someone will miss it, thus putting them off, or ditto by sitting too close to them etc.) just to get a few shitty ones. You don't need to go for every sodding wave boys!!
I have surfed D-bah with TWICE the amount of people all of a better standard than me and caught more waves, because people know how to surf a crowd and still be polite and actually ENJOY their surfing, not just be cocks and end up missing out on essential elements of surfing — waves shared, traded, watched, learned from, sunsets etc. I bet half those boys didn't even notice the sun throwing a blaze behind the dunes and headland.
COCKS.
This weekend don't call me, I'll be out of signal range looking for a FUN place to surf.
'Breaking out'
Also, it's banned books week:
To limit the press is to insult a nation; to prohibit reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves. - Claude-Adrien Helvetius, 1715 - 1771
Some of my favourites (like Deenie), were banned. Silly idea.

I couldnt agree more as a cornish resident of pentire the rudeness of these prats is trying my patience,hassled by some incompant prat on his log.Surfing Noosa with 300 people out no bad vibe,still got great waves.Never recognise any of them here two minuets think they can behave like heros(always on small gay days)fecking poofs.Such behavour in other parts of the world would be a invortation to a good beating.
