when a half kook comes off a wave 'yewying' claiming he got a hell barrel when he just sneaks his head under the lip

2/ (sounding old here, I know). Can't stand it when a bunch of 10 y/o boys turn up and paddle around the line up shouting to one another with a whole heap of shit, raving about every wave and bragging about how good they are. Share the stoke quietly, guys.
Definately agree with this one. While grommets can be fun to surf with when the waves are shit due to their boundless stoke, the sound of high pitched claims of "Did you see how much air I just got" and "Guess who scored a wristy last night @ Davo's party", get a bit too much.

My fave overheard conversation was a bunch of 16y olds in the surf at Bondi. One had gone to a rub and tug place at the Jungo, only to be confronted with one of the girls from school providing the services. She freaked, he made her go through with the wristy (such a great expression smakka!)

Just remembered another one.
A couple of sessions recently were ruined by a father and his daughter in the line up. He was consistently yelling instructions at her from 50 m or so away (in English and sometimes in some foreign language - could have been Brazilian). Telling her when to paddle and questioning her choice of waves and what she did on them.
He had one of those deep, foghorn type voices and it just grated.
BTW. She was surfing fine, probably mid-teens and quite capable. GGGRRRR!!!
Just let her be and give all our ear drums a rest

I've got three

1) Guys who make a noise just before you take the drop. Sounds like someone on the inside is calling you off so you pull back and it's just the same farkin idiot making weird noises because the wave looks so nice or he's swearing cause he couldn't get on it.

2) All you hear being spoken around you is Portuguese (Zilla'nese for you half wits) means get ready for drop ins and snakings.

3) What Trev said below:

I paddled out last week with only one bloke out. All's quiet, we enjoy the waves.

Next thing a mate of his paddles out and he just didn't shut up from that point on.

I think his mate caught some waves just to get away from him. Just wouldn't shut up, talked crap, and filled in the bits between words with swearing, constantly. And he had nothing of any interest to say.

I think everyone agrees. Young guys who think they are killing it when its small sound like young girls on the paddleout and also when they're just sitting there squealing to their other girlfriends.
But when there's a bit more size they strangely shut up completely, and only go for the slop. Funny that??? It's all related to testicular size, so when they need to be used the squeaks stop and vise versa.

Most talking.

Especially psyching out, next, dribble, particularly private or money related.

4)Yep
5)"Gumby, you are in a combination situation, with 10 minutes remaining, looking to improve on a 4 and a 6"

6)The dull thunk of you board smacking you in the face, as you meet it in the lip after a pathetic attempt at an air

Tangent, but my mate nearly pulled a sushi roll the other day

Landed on his knees and got back up
