When I try to explain why (respectful, reasonable) surfers try to keep from blowing up spots, I always ask - have you ever been fly fishing?
There's a zen and peace that comes with fly fishing which doesn't involve large numbers of people being packed into a small area.
Imagine that you are serenely working a perfect little pond that you stumbled upon by yourself when others arrive up at full speed, snapping selfies
and rocking Fall Out Boy.
Your fishing moment is immediately ruined, better pack up your gear and head on home, maybe the next time your fishing hole won't be over-run.
But soon you become aware that these donkeys are posting glowing reviews, pics and maps of this fishing hole to other Fall Out Boy fans.
If you simply commit to heading south in a prepared manner, you show a little respect and don't trash the place, you take turns in the water and smile
and be nice, people down there will share info. So you don't need maps and GPS coordinates to get the goods, and you certainly don't need to post
stuff on the web to show how hard you scored.
TLBaja79: I don't mean to suggest that you listen to Fall Out Boy.
Ateo: That's very kind & generous of you. |
