Allegedly, a twenty-five year old surfer assaulted an old bird on the beach over some wave board etiquette. It’s slightly understandable, nothing chaps my @$$ more then someone snaking my line in the park: aside from maybe, long exposure to the sun, while spontaneous streaking without sun-block! On the other hand, weekend warriors and beginners aren’t familiar with what’s kosher and what’s objectionable in the waves, park or spot: therefore, don’t be a (insert a derogatory term here), everyone has the right to learn and assaulting someone doesn’t increase your alpha-male status. To sum up, wear sunscreen (especially while streaking), don’t be a ______ and most importantly understand the environment’s etiquette prior to entering.
