Surf Etiquette 101

Looking into these reading and film, Bustin' Down the Door, we see this hostility within the surfing communities around the world. "Surf etiquette is key in surviving out in the waves of the locations you choose to surf at," said my surf instructor Dave Shulkin my first day of instruction. Coming in I had no idea that there was any etiquette or rules behind surfing, and boy was I wrong.

Tip #1: When getting ready to take a wave the person to your right has the right-of-way in taking that wave.

Tip #2: Once finished riding your wave make sure to swim to your right (away from incoming surfers) around to get back to the location where you want to catch a wave. 

(so basically after you finished riding Indiana Jones at Disneyland you got to go walk back to the front of the line to get that amazing rush you got when you were on it) 

Tip #3: Don't get in the way of surfers
Tip #4: Don't get in the way of surfers
Tip #5: Don't get in the way of surfers

From the film, to what we had read, and the one page reading of 'Haole Go Home,' we may conclude and comprehend that Hawaiians are really into their roots and have right to be offended. A single word can describe so much in the world of literature and going to Rabbits article published on SURFER magazine in 1977 he described the modernization of the sport of surf and how it was 'basic' and 'young'  and a 'popular pastime roughly twenty years ago,' while it had, and continues to be, an ancient custom amongst the Hawaiian culture.
The Hawaiians have a right to express their anger through violent action (not saying that violence is the way to solve your problems) since in the nineteenth-century they had been ripped from their soil and ridden of their customs after Cook arrived who saw these indigenous folk gliding above water when he first arrived to the islands. Instead of banishing cook, they killed him, so we could see how Hawaiians hold a lot of values to heart, which is the way it should be since our roots is what comprises us of our identities. So taking shit from Bartholomew and his ill-written paper and the blocking of the beach from the public in order to host competitions were the last blows to the Hawaiian native surfers that made them ignite and stand for their culture and sport of surf.
Looking back to the history behind 'surf rage' we can see how it had been ignited but now looking into 'modern-day surf rage' we see locals cut non-locals off. A very territorial dominance in the locate to where one is able to surf has pervaded to many other popular locations in the world. So careful out there on those beach waves. Especially if you decide to go to Brazil!

¡Viva la Surf Culture!
