Thanks for sharing that refreshing story Souwester.
Where I surf the line up is dominated by longboards
as it is very popular and well excepted,the shortboarders
hang in one group which is good for them and from there
on its full of men with big sticks and very crowded most times.
But as you say,everyone gets along and most share waves.Its
only the blow ins that cause the occasional problem.I think we
all understand that at our age we will never be world beaters and
enjoy our water time and chill out from the day to day issues.
As the slogan goes, life's better when you surf.Well it always makes
me that much happier.
