scrapa fightwear - the boyz from the north shore mainly the "Pak's" underlying purpose is to make the line up safe and functional. if a kook is in the way and causes you to get worked on a jagged reef, them bodily harm can result. bodily harm to make your point may not be the best method of teaching but it is a tool. its like racing down a drag strip and you drive in my the way with a hyundai. you put someone in danger with your actions. In saying that, localism just to be "local" like "this is our spot" is wrong but you "non-locals" have to use some discretion when judging the "Pak" and others. dont like to generalize but I lived in Cali for 15 years and surfed spots from Malibu down to lower Trestles. Localism or reverse localism exists. I remember reading about these bitch azz guys from Palos Verdes who would vandalize your car when you surfed "their" home break. At least local boyz are man enough to walk up to you and give you cracks. being from kauai and knowing some of the boyz from the "Pak" makes me biased but it comes down to respect. if you drop in on someone at pipe at one foot ankle slappas as opposed to six to eight solid, would you get your grill smashed?, probably not, well maybe you would......
Wha?
