A History of the Sacred Rules of Surfing and Surf Etiquette and How To Apply Them

The world of surfing is a bit of a strange one; we have this belief and ideal about being free spirits, travelers and dropouts from society, yet at the same time, like all sociological groups we have our own set of rules that we try to live by, and without them, we are quickly lost.

How to Surf Hurricane Storm Surges

For all the dumb people and Bozos who think it might be fun to Surf Hurricane Storm Surges, well, this article is for you. And since there is a non-ending supply of brain dead thrill seekers out there, let me explain how you do it, so at least you can have one last thrill before you die trying.

First Storm Surges are not like regular surf, it is choppy hard to paddle out into and there is a hell of a lot of debris out there floating around as you are trying to catch pieces of waves. How do I know this? Well let’s just say I was young and dumb once just like you.

In fact you are not the dumbest moron out there, in fact last time a Hurricane came thru Key West, that was Hurricane Rita, one of the popular surf shops in town sold thirteen brand new surfboards. These long boards were sold just before Hurricane Rita in Key West. You know there will be others out during Hurricane Wilma.

While other people were boarding things up and in true Key West Style writing the name of the newest Hurricane on each piece of plywood, these folks were plotting the direction of the storm and the possible best locations to die, or I mean ride the biggest waves. Look when even the Dolphins take off for the day, you probably ought to know something is up. And listen to me Big Guy, it ain’t the surf “Dude!” Think on this, if not how do you want your tombstone to read?
