No greygrom, just that they will 'cos they know they can......I mean how arrogant to turn up at a major surf spot and think you have as much right to a wave as the people who surf it all the time......you're a guest in their waves.....if you behave they might let you have a few, if you try to claim your "rights" you'll get nothing. Maybe not the way the world should be, but as I said before, just the way it happens to be.So BB are you telling us that "locals" have a right to drop in on you because they think they can?

Fair point but which side of that do you want to be on? Shouldn't you be out there changing it if you can see that its not how it should be?

and then:I mean how arrogant to turn up at a major surf spot and think you have as much right to a wave as the people who surf it all the time......you're a guest in their waves.....if you behave they might let you have a few
so I'll play along to make sure I get my share!
Hey BB - next time u head outside of the big smoke, to the Sth Coast make sure you have your head bowed, make sure you sit inside, and I might let you have a couple...Sounds fair!
If you are gonna apply that logic at your "home" break, you'd better make sure you play the game when you venture beyond!

Always do. Paddle out and wait your turn. If a local is serious about a wave, they get it. Under most conditions once they see that you're respectful and can actually surf then they let you take a turn. The last bit is important though......if you can't actually surf at a good standard there are lots of places in and out of Sydney where you'll never get a fair suck of the sav!

Hey locals 
How committed are you to your break and is it worth it?
Are you committed to a break that noone else will surf?
Is it because its too mean or too lame?
Thats a big difference
.
Are you committed to a break that everyone surfs with hundreds of locals?
Half of which you regard as blow ins because they don't surf it when you do.
Go for change and adventure

Thankyou all,
So what I'm getting at is, if you were out the back having fun at "your break" and you saw Occhy or Sunny whoever drop into a nice one and absolutely rip it up..... would "you" being a "local" tell him to Eff Off and go back to wherever he came from??
Its all about respect for your fellow man

What's a local?
Local doesn't mean you have to live on that beach anymore. If you've surfed every week winter and summer (especially midweek) and are accepted by the crew you are a local. Are the North Narra Boys and Bra boys gonna live with mum and dad until they're fifty waiting for the folks to die so they can keep the house????? I think not!!!! - chances are most of us wont be able to afford beachfront properties in Sydney.....further more if someone is a renter does that make them a local
Never confuse ambition with ability
