Raced home this arvo for a surf as it was blowing offshore, the waves were better than I expected at around the 4 ft range and pretty hollow. I paddled out and found a nice bank to myself and caught around half a dozen waves, then next minute the crowd hit it. Every wave I was riding I would have 1 or even 2 dropins stealing my wave and chopping up the smooth surface from the offshore winds. Even when I was out the back waiting for the set waves they would paddle around me annoying the crap out of me, so realizing I couldn't beat them I finally went in with my tail between my legs with them knowing they got the better of me.
Bloody dolphins.

Hmm were they prone surfers?Do you call this place your local?

If you answer yes to both,you have to change your game plan and
treat them like they treated you or if thats not in your sole,you need
to find a new spot.

Or hit the gym,only a fool would drop in on a big chunky guy riding
a big chunky board.

btw works for me

Give 'em the stink eye. That'll fix em.

Just ask them if they just saw a big bloody fin (forget to mention it was on the bottom of your board) You know youve seen yours, you have be confident say if you see it again your out of here. OK people dont like the cry wolfe thing but you are only refering to the one on you board they can create a flesh wounds from self experience. I had a guy drop in on me the other day only to fall of leaving me no time to avoid my quad running over his board which I asked him if it left marks on his board he tended to look both ways before taking off. He was apologetic unlike some.
If you dont like this idea best not use it.

No way!
I've seen them stand up at speed on their tail going backwards,

that'd take some skill.

I had a smart arse baby one jump over the front of my short board a couple of years back, lucky I saw it coming, but definately did not expect the closeness.
your right N.S.W and in this case Forster is absolutely crawling (swimming) with them.

I could not believe how frisky they were, I was definetly worried if I fell into the drink I might have my cherry popped. At first I thought they were herding schools of fish as there was a lot of tail slapping and jumping, but then they seemed to lose interest in that and decided to have some fun with me. And yes there was this one cheeky little barstard that kept buzzing me too close, several times I could of touched (sliced into little dolphin steaks) with my paddle.

I had the same problem once , so I jumped on the back of the biggest one and jammed my thumb into his Blow Hole...hang on tight it's a wild ride but they soon run out of air and get the message to move on

I find speaking with a Japanese accent works remarkably well to move those pesky dolphins on.

Nature eh... Who needs it?

Try the old harpoon disguised as a paddle trick or get some dolphin repellant on your bat utility belt
