no but you fall into the funny basket of being a aussie i dont understand...we will call our mates a carnt and people that piss us off mate...
as in your situation, you ****ing idiot mate....or as my mate said to me this arvo, how ya going ya carnt...makes me laugh
oh i would have said more than that...said a few similar things today,but they were on 3 different craft
i wouldn't after my big day out 2 saturdays ago.
i look at things like this now - was it life threatening, are they stealing my car, am i out here for a good time, am i going to feel good after giving someone a mouthful.
cheers
your on a point break for one...i kind of expect it before i paddle out, then i dont get so hot.
sometimes the best thing to say is nothing ...just give them the stink eye and shake the head.
Jas, Jas, Jas,
The Golden Rule has been broken.
A couple of things need to be cleared up:-
1. It is Xmas holidays.
2. There has been no waves on the Points for quite a while.
3. Every man and his dog want a wave.
4. Every idiot and his brother are around thinking they are able to surf.
Where is the Golden rule that you have broken my dear Sunshine Coast friend?
right in front of your surf hungry eyes it is, isn't it.
That is right, you know what I am saying don't you.
DO NOT GO NEAR THE POINTS UNTIL AT LEAST FEBRUARY.
That way, you will not get angry. You will not get sore ankles and you will not swear.
You know it is true. I will not be breaking the GOLDEN RULE.
It is not worth it.
Please remember this.
ET.
You probably should have called him off before he paddled in. Doing this lets the drop in know your there . If he still drops in after that then you are within your rights to call him on it. How you do it is up to you.

Thats totally ok mate...but heaps cooler not saying anything & just grabbing the front of there board as your passing & flipping them off the back 
nah **** 'em bro....you went too light on IMO....give them a good spray and direct them to the shoulder or the car park depending on the level of kookness and size of the waves
It was Vanders who dropped in for sure
I'll let them know I'm behind with a little helloif their full on kook I'm have a nice word in a friendly manner,do it twice and you will cop a spray from Makaha.

This manoeuvre, when performed correctly, is one of the greatest sights in modern surfing.

no swearing required just do the micky dora
i heard of a story a few years ago at one of the more crowded spots on the goldie were a guy flicked his board at another bloke, who was in the wrong- he lost an eye.
an eye for a drop in is a big price to pay
I told a dude off yesterday (in a polite way ) after he ran me over. He was so far on the shoulder and had plenty of room to avoid me. It was almost like he tried his best to hit me. He reply was just attitude....No apology nothing from him so I just let fly and called him a kook, dickhead etc and told him to go in. I am normally very mild mannered person and have never done that in the surf before (in 30 years of surfing). It didnt make me feel good at all but something about his attitude just sent me into a rage. I lost it and in hindsight with an attitude like that he needed someone to pull him into line.
I don't like arguing while doing something that is meant to relax me though (surfing).!!

even more reason to ride a longboard, nice rounded noses. That accident was more than likely a shortboard haha

You tend to learn a bit of crowd control growing up surfing Triggs Point
I can't remember the last time I was dropped in on.
Hang on it was Vanders,time before that Vanders and the time before that you guessed it Vanders
