If you can ignore their indiscretions and death stares, not attract too much attention by following the above rules, you might enjoy yourself. But don't expect the locals to follow the same rules as you, some will and some will really push the limits.

BUT do not say you surf. One month does not a surfer make. He was probably frustrated that you were in the impact zone futzing around. Beginners make it an annoying habit to be right where the waves are breaking to fix their leash or get back on the board. If you can not successfully ride from the line-up to the shore without stopping, MOVE DOWN THE BEACH to where no one is and practice there. A surfer should be able to ride through the impact zone without worrying to much about flotsam & jetsam. Andy – the guy was a dick, brush it off.

As a beginner I it is difficult to learn because the experienced surfers are always in the good areas. A few weeks ago I was in a great spot and finially catching some waves. Many experienced surfers then came over and broke many of your so called etiqutte rules. If you don't like beginners surfing with you find a new sport. The ocean belongs to everyone. Throw your stink eye my way because I am a beginner and your stink eye will be a black stink eye. Chill out a little on the beginners.
