I tend to paddle away from surfers. We can catch waves from much further back or go to different places where surfers find it harder to get to and we have much longer and nicer waves. Ironically, my surfing has dropped off as I spend more time spec ski paddling. Wished I more time to surf as well (& more money for new surfboard 😅)
As a ski paddler you should always stay outside the lip: you can share a wave with surfers because they cannot come out to where you are (outside the lip). These paddlers caused a bit of havoc and would not have been popular: particularly with all of the falling off and letting a 19 foot chunk of fibreglass clean up through the break
Nice riding. What I like in spec ski paddling: it’s fun to have party waves and yell at each other whilst on the wave.
What do the board surfers think of you guys in the Break? Some places can get a little "territorial".
It’s true but we’ve been paddling for decades in this area so we all have to share and get along.
