I drop in on almost everybody. I am a 4th degree black belt in BJJ so if you want to go there be my guest. I get more waves because of BJJ. If you get snappy with me you might find yourself in an arm bar or ankle pick on the beach or rocks. Bad ass martial artists rule the lineups and “etiquette” doesn’t apply if WE don’t want it to.

Rules of Etiquette ….. were lost, in the shortboard revolution.
“Cracks & scoldings” were lost to whiners & lawyers
Busy Parents, trying to make a living, and supporting their whining kids ….
Demanding kids, with their needy palms out, saying, “gimme, I WANT”
A Lack, of communication, the Inter-net
Cheap Kooks, buying Chinese Pop-out Products from Costco
Greedy Hipsters, jumping on the SUP wagon, with NO understanding of…
Surf Etiquette or History, of surfing …..
And certainly a lack of teaching, of mentoring our kids with the pleasantries
of being a human being, the respect that should be allowed every person and the understanding, that surfing is a privilege, and not a right, as an individual.

I have lived and surfed Wrightsville since I was 10 years old (27) now. Wrightsville has a bunch of prima donna locals that are hot heads. Just stay clear of them and move down the beach and have fun.

Rule #11: There’s no such thing as surf report here, just a description of how Tony B’s session was.
