Understand the Proper Surfing Etiquette When Out On the Water
Hi! This is Pat Weber with the San Diego Surfing Academy for expertvillage.com. In this clip we are going to talk about surfing etiquette, also known as rules of the road. Let's face it, the closest person to the curl gets the right of way. If you are out here paddling on the shoulder, and your head is on a swivel and you see somebody coming from closer to the curl, you want to give that wave a miss and hopefully they go by with a thankful smile on their face and they will do the same thing for you. Never paddle in the wave. If you have a choice between paddling in front of somebody and paddling behind them, paddle behind them so as not to get in their way. It is going to be safer and it is going to be more courteous. Finally respect the locals, respect those that have more experience, more skills and came before you. Hopefully when you get to that point, you will be afforded the same courtesy. Be safe, have fun. That's what this is all about.
