Get your stand up out , and proceeed to drop in on him any chance you get.If it gets aggro at least you have the paddle to whack him on the melon with.

hmm can see this thread as a 4 pager :)

mate treat him as any other new surfer in the water ? key his car...that was a joke

we have all made mistakes, i know i have, but if he is pissing others off alot maybe give him a hand...

what side is he paddling "most" on to catch the wave? if he can only paddle on his left for a wave that may effect his vision ...

or he could just be a dick

j

mac, has anybody spoken to him about it? if he has been spoken to about whats the right thing to do and hasn't changed his ways i think this might work.

you 'll need all your mates, better get some ringins too cause that won't be enough, do mass drop ins for about say 5 of his waves- hunt as pack, clear a path inside for him, force him to take waves where you can drop in

after 5 leave him be, if he continues, repeat dosage.
he may ask whats going on- well tell him

cheers

btw this is a rare post from you, must be a biggie

Yes it can get all funky in here posting a longboarders take on things but I respect what you guys do always have.
He is new to the area,just bought a unit across the road so I'll be seeing him often.
I don't want to upset him and would like to welcome him BUT he is pissing me and a few of my mates off.

Ok as a longboarder who dibbles in sup surfing from time to time.
I'm asking advice from you guys who receive the stink eye from
prone guys.

This guy or blow'in has just arrived at my local,no big deal that happens.
The problem is,he has in the past few weeks become the king of drop in.
He never looks to the left ( right hand ) point break and a very congested
one at that and drops in on everyone.
Without speaking to him he appears to be a nice guy around the 50+ range.
I would not call him a gun but goes ok'ish at best.

I've done the stink,done the shake of the head.

So how should I approach this in the future

mac whats he riding

ha you no what to do, just keep sharing if not meet em in the car park and hav a calm discusion

As someone who rides a shortboard predominantly and only rides a sup in flatwater or bays when its flat I have zero sympathy for the ultra greedy longboarders who frequent the Bluff at Alex when a sup rider turns up and proceeds to turn the tables.
Truth is most longboarders really have no idea how greedy they are because they simply ignore anyone riding shorter boards (or other longboarders for that matter) and so make pigs of themselves.
Most of them are incapable of turning their heads to the left and are also deaf in the left ear.
Karma for them.
Need to look at yourself and answer the question about your own wave count.
Have a chat to the guy and chances are once you know each other he won't be dropping in on you (as much).
As for the rest of the line up that's another conundrum.
One thing I notice when trying to ride a wave behind a longboarder who's dropped in on me (riding a shortboard) is it can be more difficult due to the longboard's wake and also the different lines drawn by the longboarder and shortboarder.
When riding a longboard and someone drops in the wake is no problem for me and as long as they don't cut back into me I'm always happy to share a wave.
Wouldn't the wake of a sup be no problem for most on a longboard behind the sup rider?
The ocean belongs to no one irrespective of any piece of dirt one has purchased no matter how close to the water.
I feel strongly about this topic because its one of the reason I started to ride sups.
To get out on the water and enjoy some peaceful paddling in an aquatic environment without having to put up with the greed of others that I encounter out in the surf.
It's gotten so bad there's many times lately that I want to give away an activity that's shaped my life, taken me to far flung corners of the globe and given immeasurable amounts of joy mixed in with fear, frustration and peace.

If it was over here he'd get rounded up & sent from the water ,seen it happen we all stick together don't matter what you ride ,locals are locals

Sounds like the old 'you have to drop in to get waves on the Goldy' myth. This is of course qualified by the 'I f'en live here' or 'if you don't know 'em go 'em'.

Old mate sounds like he's not sure who's who yet. Maybe it's time simply to ask him if he's been led to believe the above theories and point out that while true it only applies to people from elsewhere.

Good luck with the manners lesson.


P.s the above theories are not mine but those perpetuated by surf media etc etc. The above refers to our furthest south point break. Try it at Burleigh where you 'will' be disciplined for such actions.

Have sex with his wife.

Same place same guy dropping in on everybody ffs. But this time there was a LB comp on with both state and national champions competing.

This guy must have a stiff neck because he cant turn his melon to the left,he dropped in on everybody including me on a bomb he fell off and blow my wave,thanks mate

When I'm free surfing and there is a comp on,with whatever craft I tell the guys its your comp just take whatever wave you want its all yours.This guy needs to read the code of conduct.

So, what do YOU do while free surfing and there's a comp on

time to teach him some manners mate[}:)]

Feck you are a sooky la la, Makaha told us it was so tough over there.

Oh well will find out soon, on the Goldie for first 2 weeks of Oct looks like I just go and drop in and the locals whinge on a forum "what do I do"

Come on princess you can do better than that - usually involves fins being knocked out and teeth dropping to the floor. Thought they were tougher in cane toad country
