Agreed. Localism at Llandudno was always a problem, and having it forced in my face made me explore more of the gorgeous Cape coastline. I now get more waves, unless the Cape Doctor turns on.

Legendary comment JK, Loving the IZUZU bakkie picture you painted.

I have been really patient at Llandudno, to the tune where the last 6 surfs I’ve caught between 3-5 waves in 1-2 hours.

But I’ve been surfing in Cape Town and up the west coast a bit more recently, and the wave count is up and stress is down some.

I know this guy well, or should I say too well for my liking as I have mad many run-in’s with this knob.

He has said the same things to me: “Dont get on my outside” to “Stay out my fucken way”. Sure, he can surf, but that is because he gets enough practise on ALL the waves that roll in.

I respect the locals of any break. My local break is Long Beach, and anyone who has surfed there knows how hard it is to catch set waves and also how patient you need to be when you out there. I have also had my run-in’s there, but NEVER with a local, only with some Jo’Burgers who bought a long board on the way to the beach, slid it on the roof of his Izuzu KB bakkie and missioned to the beach to rip it and start a new career as a surf champ, cos he reckons this shit is easy.

I surf with respect at all times. Respect to my fellow wave riders, respect to the ocean, and respect for those who are learning and sharing in the stoke of surfing, whether a Long Boarder, Bodyboarder or a Shortboarder. (Notice I left out paddle skiers – LOL!!)

Show respect and you will be treated with it, simple as that…..

Who is this guy?? I used to surf Lans for too many years and even remember John Willy copping a few. Is it Wayne?? I think it’s an insecurity complex. I have surfed the world and any decent local will give you respect where its due. You always get a few exceptions and they are normally KOOKS or not LOCALS.
