I have autism and I surf. Many times people mistake me for being an asshole. I am just quiet and don't process social cues like regular people. I surf alone and many people don't know me even though I've lived here and surfed my break for 8 years. I try to tell people I'm autistic but they think I'm joking. I've been physically threatened in Hawaii as well because I don't socialize like normal people. I wish everyone was just a little more understanding instead of jumping to conclusions. Not everyone is wired the same way. Some of us have to really try extremely hard to train our brains to pick up subtle social cues.
I've got a neurodivergent mate who surfs and the way he can talk about waves and surfing, and other creative things like music demonstrates such a deep and creative level of understanding it blows my mind. Don't let the ignorant folks ruin your day.
You picked up on this one alright. 🤔 maybe just admit your just like everyone else and prefer your own space. It's called being a human. Everyone experiences this.
As long as you know how to surf and understand that the deepest guy gets the wave, I don't care where you're from. Plenty of locals are bad surfers and have bad attitudes. You don't own the waves just because you live nearby. It's a shame because it's only getting worse with more crowds and people's entitlement today.
Actually the group of friends at the top of the lineup that talk the loudest and use cuss language get all the waves, we should all learn how to cuss and talk loud.
I surfed Raglan about 2 months before this video was made. The big brother from the video was there telling people to fuck off and snaking everyone. It’s true, no one does shit when you are 150kg. To be honest I’m a decent surfer and I found it to be a bit like witnessing a school boy bully, you wouldn’t be acting that way in front of your mum cause she would give you a big schlllaaaaaap
I had exacly the same experience with the big guy, the last 2 times I've surfed Raglan, he's out there swearing at people, behaving like a bully and generally just creating a bad vibe in the water. I grew up surfing a well known, crazy busy line up in South Africa where you had to obey the rules, but never saw this kind of attitude in the water.
@@cynide89 yeah and the worst are the complicit locals who try and be his mate, hanger on’s to avoid it themselves. Have some balls and don’t tolerate bullies in the water.
@@edawg654 Yep, exactly as you described. He's by far the worst example of bad behaviour I've ever witnessed. Sadly I must confirm, he hasn't changed a bit, and still ruining the vibe on a daily basis. (I was giving him the benefit of the doubt that he was having a bad day....but it appears from the date of your post... he has always been having a bad day)
Peeing on the rocks to mark your territory is a nice touch. Shooting potatoe launcher or hitting golf balls into the lineup before paddling out also works nicely to clear the crowd. With the ever expanding popularity of surfing, soon we will have wavepool locals as well. Beware!
I love it man!! I've been surfing on Oahu for 38 years now and have the same issues you're having with "localisms"... Bottom line, when you're local, the people that matter know it.
Brilliant. Sent it to my up and coming surfer 16 yr old son. I’m making posters of him this weekend so people know he’s a local and to give Ali G mad respect. Thanks for the tips Local Legend. What’s that board you’re riding? and your style has a bit of Machado in it. Very cool.
Its a free ocean. Just dont drop in and let a few take some waves when you have wave prority like you dont care. Then when your out the back by yourself and get an awsome wave, tear it to pieces and they will be glad with you.
You dont need to be a local, just paddle out on the biggest most dinged board you can find and charge every wave you see, watch them scatter in terror. Of course they may add a few dings to your face when you get back to the beach but hey then you'll look even more badass at the next session!
I would say it much more important to make sure that your water polo (eggbeater tread) skills are strong. Otherwise, you are going to find yourself being dunked in front of everyone.
This is true. As a LA local I made a very similar video about my struggle holding it down and no one seems to respect it. If you are ever in socal we should unite our efforts. We can be locals the whole world over.
I’ve been doing the poster thing and I think it’s working. Guys are grinning and pointing at me in the line up. It almost seems like they’re dropping in on me more though. I think I need more posters…
The hoards are multiplying faster than locals. Its gonna be a sad ending for many locals, as they watch their beloved spots turn into clustrefkucs. The antidote is to get a job at Quik, Rip, or Billa...where crowds = MONEY!!
😂😂😂 Had me laughing the whole time. Well done. From a Jax Beach Pier Florida local, you are welcome at our pier any day. I just get the first pick of the outside old man's wave--preferably the wave of the day.
Why only great grandparents and not an even older generation? Well, turns out that it was your great grandparents who kicked out or preferrably killed off the previous locals...
Every surfer has a first day, and nobody owns the waves no matter where youre from. I would rather positive education over demanding a rookie leave your break. Thats not what the "brotherhood" of Surfing is about. Who knows, you might just meet a friend, and at my local break, you cant have too many🤙
someone trying to surf behind me the dude says, commonly known as a drop in. Seen this often and then the local says why don't you call and if you call twice the locals get on your case. Still if ya gonna deck yourself out in branded surf gear don't complain about crowds.
Very Funny guys Love it. I let everyone know I am Not a Local and when they see me in the water they take pity and let me gget all the waves I want as I am 66 😂😂😂😂
Our local breaks are so crowded im windsurfing now rather than surfing as i dont have to deal with the drop in kooks that cant surf or the stupid locals that think they own the break
best way to get your fix even if you are a local is get the fuck away from the crowds.... i am a local in my local break but i avoid it cause the hassle is not worth the surf...
Santa Cruz has the most ego surfers that aren't as good as their ego that I have ever seen. From San Diego spent 6 years in Kauai and my best friend moved to SC when I moved to Kauai and to see the division there is mind blowing. You guys gotta get laid more or something
Came here straight after seeing legit assault with a surfboard. Dude launched and landed his fins right into another guy dropping in. Right into his neck and back. I skate mostly and I'm from Australia where theres plenty of ocean for everybody so we dont have this shit here (for the most part) but if we saw anybody land their board into somebody's back, they wouldn't be leaving the beach on their feet.
better then that was a day that a Russian called me out of my home break hahahaha hes words - Yoooo, I'm local go out. everyone around laugh a lot, and nobody saw Andrey ever again. hahahahahaha great day.
Very funny .. l never thought to Mark my turf when l was a local somewhere .. Though really its always important to be respectful to folk in the water especially if its their home break .. lve found it works atreat even if they maybe Shoulder dwellers .. the paddle around in frenzy attitude sucks , just ease your way in if ya caught a wave don't just grab the next one if its the next guys turn let him know go for it .. the ocean is everybodies term is a bit of a strawman just so you can hassle ..
For a glorious 2 months during the great world wide common cold scare, they shut down the parking lots at the local beaches. The most "localized" break all of a sudden was missing it's loud mouthed self proclaimed "protectors." These jerks who'd been terrorizing and claiming ownership on this spot for years didn't even live there......
Back in the mid 70's til 82 , when moved to L A to live with my dad . Was a well known surfer and considered a local over all breaks in town . The 3 best consistent breaks some friends and I ruled , was a skinny 16 kid but some were older and strong. Sure had outsiders dropping my wave many times , would push them down . Paddling back had to explain the right and wrong and point the guys to never even think . Now still today there is this break just for the locals , it doesn't matter who you are , they will beat you out . Stupidity has a price , if one go surf on any other break and is recognized , better run . Was already living in L A and surfing at Malibu for the second time in my life , surfing the leftovers on the 2 nd break . There i was a good surfer in the middle of a crowd catching some 3 ft lousy waves . The locals at the outside surfing some 6 ft nice and long rights , fair enough . When i saw what made a skinny teen become a man , a nice and bigger wave shaping up coming . Paddle right and not a single guy near , thought finally a good one all my . Just had to turn and drop in , bottom turn a slap on the face when i saw a guy trying to get in , so i blocked him and went on . Paddle back sat on my board and the guy that tried surf my wave , said nice wave . Asked him how long he was surfing , couple of years was his answer . Told him never do or try doing again , and explain why . he had no idea . After few minutes I hear someone shouting , hey you get out . Look around to see who was screaming , yeah dude you with this strange wetsuit and brand board . Look at him , was a big man older and stronger , about 50 ponds and 4 or 5 inches taller . Came next to me and shout inches away from my ear, get the f...k out now , Why man , what have I done ,,where the f....k you come from . Brazil , but am also an American by father and will not leave , want surf some more . He throw a punch at me and missed , jump in the water thinking a punch in the water is just his arm. The guy sat on his board and used the elbow and broke my board , seeing the damage instinctively spiked the fins on his board . Turn and start paddling out , sure he came after me . Had never fight in my life , and my first will be against this big dude , well done man , Sure had some friends with me but i knew the fight was on , back in Brazil i was about to get a brown belt on J J . The guy was furious came after me with his mouth foaming , and I scared to death when start to remember what i was taught . When was all over nobody got hurt , but made the guy take a nap , and end him begging me to let him go . Today he knows what went on , now i bet for at least 13 years he kept thinking how a skinny got the best out of him . Anyway that was my first and last problem I had . One more thing , was in Australia and went to surf at Snapper . Got to the beach seeing the crowd , got few beers and enjoy the beach . When l saw Parko coming , got in to surf . Never in my life saw a person being the major a...hole in the water , He dropped in over everybody wave . man if a local has the right to do what i saw . I swear if one day we get across on a neutral break like any over Bali , will chase him and drop on his first wave just for kicks
Localism is the best thing ever, and anyone who says it’s not is just a whinging weekend warrior from the city that, every 3 weeks, dusts off their hydro krypto they can barely surf 😂. Watch the seething non-locals reply in the comments.
@@RaglanSurfReport hey have you ever looked into your family history? I bet there’s some Scottish,Irish in the mix👍👍 I’m not sure where you would inherit bald from though?😳😬🦦☯️🎏💖
Just a bit stink how you almost ran the bloke over at 0:30 who was actually doing the right thing and paddling out toward the whitewater rather than the shoulder. You may be a local and surf good but that was pretty lame
that guy wasn't even paddling he was just sitting like a duck right in his line, a respectful surfer will do their best to estimate the line that is most likely for the person surfing the wave to take so that you wont mess him up or get run over, then gets the hell out of there as quickly as possible, you can actually see that he stops paddling to duck dive the green, instead of paddling more to the white wash to get out of his line
on another note the guy duck diving probably knows exactly where lukes line was gonna go, therefore he knows he's not gonna get run over or mess up his line and left it till the last second, just because a good surfer gets close to someone paddling doesnt always mean he's trying to scare them or assert dominance, think about it like thats where luke HAS to put his surfboard to continue on the line that he wants to take, good surfers know where they have to go exactly to do what they need to do and if you get scared or think you're too close to someone for comfort, thats due to lack of knowledge and is almost entirely your fault, that applies to paddling back out and surfing the wave. an experienced surfer wouldn't even think twice about something like that
Did it make a sound? Did you look up to see what it was? Did you think it was a bird, maybe a drone or something? I’m just curious to know what happened when this flew riggggghhhht over your head
It's universal respect 😃 Local is born on this planet 👌 Every Surfer travels & if your a Richard 🤔 That's all about the individual 👌🤬ing situational intelligence 😀
Finally someone who can actually make a joke about this ridiculousness
and at the same time i guarantee this guy would drop in on you at raglan. how it goes chump

the whole video must've blown right over your head lol, can you not tell that its satire?
😂
Hahaha 🙂
Haha
Just a bit stink how you almost ran the bloke over at 0:30 who was actually doing the right thing and paddling out toward the whitewater rather than the shoulder. You may be a local and surf good but that was pretty lame
I’m not sure what your interpretation of ‘almost’ is, but it seems pretty flexible. I was nowhere near the guy, but it’s nice that you care 👍🏻
that guy wasn't even paddling he was just sitting like a duck right in his line, a respectful surfer will do their best to estimate the line that is most likely for the person surfing the wave to take so that you wont mess him up or get run over, then gets the hell out of there as quickly as possible, you can actually see that he stops paddling to duck dive the green, instead of paddling more to the white wash to get out of his line
on another note the guy duck diving probably knows exactly where lukes line was gonna go, therefore he knows he's not gonna get run over or mess up his line and left it till the last second, just because a good surfer gets close to someone paddling doesnt always mean he's trying to scare them or assert dominance, think about it like thats where luke HAS to put his surfboard to continue on the line that he wants to take, good surfers know where they have to go exactly to do what they need to do and if you get scared or think you're too close to someone for comfort, thats due to lack of knowledge and is almost entirely your fault, that applies to paddling back out and surfing the wave. an experienced surfer wouldn't even think twice about something like that
🤣😂🤣😂
Samuel, I almost cared.
Respect??? Entitled???? Because you're a local?
You get nothing bro, you don't own the ocean.
Did it make a sound? Did you look up to see what it was? Did you think it was a bird, maybe a drone or something? I’m just curious to know what happened when this flew riggggghhhht over your head
WRONG
Actually you do
@@RaglanSurfReport 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Locals protect their spot vs strangers who arrive and think it is their spot
su ffs you protect nothing but your own pleasure. Selfish lil sht. Pray you don't cross my path you wouldn't be the first local bully to eat sand :)
💯
It's universal respect 😃 Local is born on this planet 👌 Every Surfer travels & if your a Richard 🤔 That's all about the individual 👌🤬ing situational intelligence 😀
Nah lol
