SURF ETIQUETTE

• It is not cool to drop in on another surfer.

• Before youi take the wave look to see if there is another surfer on the inside, close to the curl.

• If there is a surfer closest to the curl of the wave, going in your direction, do not take off.

• You always communicate with other surfers who are trying to catch the same wave, so you can go either left or right.

• The surfer on the wave must give way to surfers or swimmers paddling out. The surfer on the wave has more speed and power to manouvre out of trouble.

• Respect the locals, showing respect opens more doors to receiving more waves.
