I've finally had time to read this topic,entertaining to say the least.As Chirspy mentioned us east coast people think it's funny how you try to protect your locations,something that was done over here many years ago and good on you for doing so.At the end of the day these guy's know WA like the back of their hand from years of exploring and are genuinely
an intelligent bunch of good guy's who mean no harm,just protecting what they deem as theirs,you will learn a lot from these guy's if your new to the area,so my advice would be to tune in and learn.
I feel sorry for the guy who started the thread,so I'm inviting him to cross the road and join in the longboard forum,sorry for the swear word

It will be interesting to see the response from a totally different view point.
