Respect can be earned and taken away pretty quickly I reckon , I take each session as it comes that dictates how I react to drop in's etc..got a few basic rules that i follow, I try not to be too petty.

Drop ins happen for a lot of reasons and blowing up is sometimes not as effective as just showing genuine disappointment or asking "what happened there mate?" , once the apology is given I move on, if its not then I just go by instinct from then on.

I have accidently dropped in before just cos I was frothing and literally didn't see the guy on the inside, always apolagise face to face and make sure it does not happen again, usually does the trick.

Sometimes if there is just too many idiots out there i just move on to another peak, I am out there to have fun not get in a fisty cuff, that's what my mates garage gym is for

Mac I usually go in early as I can , wait until I've seen whoever else is out there get a few , then call if anyone is close by .... I give up more than I go for and that is a bit of a ritual with me.I'm happy with a few rides I'm happy just to get up sweetly

Good to see you post Boofy. I was only thinking yesterday it's been a while. Have you tried flat water 666 for a paddle ? Just to keep the body moving a bit.

If I'm inside and paddling and someone turns around I'll quietly let them know I'm there.
I tend not to drop in unless Im sure the guys not going to make it or if its a payback.
Sometimes you get a bloke who will paddle for a wave and miss it and expect the next one. Get to the back of the queue.
Yelling and carrying on looks stupid.

Hey Boofy mate hows it hanging

Your onto it mate,I pulled that part because I didn't want to be judged and was more interested in the replies.

Asea's was a good one,true to what I've seen.

Sorted well yes I have it sorted pending who's out,I can change the game plan easy.

Yep I agree with Asea to mate something needs to be said, I tend to sit wide at places like LM and The Pass when I am longboarding cause I cant stand the jossling and mayhem in close so waves are few and far between when its on, if I have ever dropped in on anyone it is because I honestly havent seen them inside or really didnt think they would make it I will paddle over and say sorry.
Now what about lidders I will fess up and say yes I have dropped in on them unless they are crusty old dudes that have been driven to lidding cause they cant surf anymore.
