Surf Rules from NomadSurfer

Basic rules for everybody:

• Never drop in on someone's wave.
• Always look to your left and right while paddling, to make sure that no one is going the wave before you try to get up.
• Avoid surfing a point break when it is busy with locals. If you do, do not hustle like at home !
• Stay in the shoulder of the wave and wait for your turn, it's a sign of respect towards the locals
• Never paddle for position through the inside. Always through the outside !
• If a local drops in on you and paddles around you, don't say anything and avoid problems.
• Try not to reach the peak in group. Crowds usually bring problems.
• Spread across the sea. Some people like to go where other surfers already are. It is not necessarily the best break ! Look for the waves, and not for the crowd.
• Do not litter the beach, the parking lot or anywhere!
