Some people view surfers as peace-loving, mellow, ‘live and let live’ types, and that’s often the case.
We say often, because every now and again we read stories about violence breaking out on a beach somewhere. Usually, it involves someone who calls themselves a local at the surf break in question coming down hard on somebody who isn’t, which is the surfing equivalent of a dog lifting its leg and pissing on a pot plant in the corner of the room to mark its territory.
There’s a voice note that’s now doing the rounds which encapsulate this vibe perfectly. In case you missed it, we published a story about it on Friday, even though it first spread last year, and it continues to prove very popular.
Our Facebook post with the story has been pretty busy, both over the weekend and today, and the general vibe is that the surfer who sent the voice note is a bit of a doos.
I won’t screenshot comments, in case people don’t want their names publicised, but these are some of my favourites.
We haven’t amended the spelling, because it’s Facebook and people don’t seem too bothered:
This one has a little extra spice thrown in:
So he’s still on the loose, and still up to his old tricks? Bru, reach out to us – editor@2oceansvibe.com.
Anyway, back to more of those comments:
Sympathy for this surfer has been in limited supply today:
One guy was clearly raging:
I’m reminded of that classic scene from The Office with that one.
Oh well, at least the vast majority of people seem to believe that surfers and paddleboarders should coexist peacefully.
We all came from the ocean, bru, you know what I mean? Inhales deeply.
