Doesn't matter how good you are, dropping in on someone is a dick move. Newcomers don't always understand how it works, they are just having fun ... teach instead of antagonize.
No the tourist should get some respect to the locals not the other way around what if a dummy came to your surf spot and was being a kook getting in your way and stuff my dad would slap them or run them over they should not have been there the kooks should go to a place were it’s small and there is on one so they can’t irritate or get someone hurt in the old days they would fight ANYONE that gets in the was or is being an idiot but now days there all pussy and call the cops
@@lekilimeandonsa9236 Sorry but that's just not the way it is anymore. Kooks are free to paddle out at the most advanced spots and shit up the line up and if you say anything you are the bad guy. When I was young i wouldn't even THINK about paddling out around the good guys. You just knew not to do it. These days anything goes.
Come Hawaii they show you who own what, you cant just show up and just start dropping in on everybody, those locals should have smash those foreigner's!!
Everyone starts out not knowing etiquette and lacking shill to turn sharply away from a collision. We have all been that kook, and we have all met up a local who could have been nicer to us.
In climbing if you see a begginer belaying in the wrong way or top roping from one point or stucked in a route they cant get out you go there, teach and help trying not to be an asshole. I don't understand that culture in surfing, mother nature belong to all of us and we should teach not hate... pd: opinion from someone who has surfed 2 times just to have fun...maybe o don't know the culture but i find It a bit rude.
@@carloossbcn it's ego - people think they deserve the waves if they have (in their eyes) a higher skill level. They also have short memories of when they were learning. It's the worst thing about surfing.
If you're s local you should be dominating the line up with mastery of position so dropping is never an option, you're on priority spots no matter what
Back in the 80s there was one car load of Balinese who would show up at Canggu sometimes. They weren’t from Canggu. Everyone would go back to town about 11 or 12 in the trade season and you could score it in the wet season with just a few. I had it many times by myself. Glad I had it in the 80s and 90s. Not many bothered with Pererenan.
First there in 1970, way before the Balo's got into it. Man, my first wave ever was at NusaDua. Saw one guy surfing his nuts off at 4 ft perfection. He came in and I got a boat out and had it all to myself for hours. It was just so uncrowded back then.
Way back in the 90s I also remember van loads of Balo's showing up and just taking over the main break, but we just moved down and found a good uncrowded peak to ourselves. Also remember sitting back having a jaffle and coffee looking at Chungu getting better & better. Such a great wave.
@@r.y2902 The Bali tourist boom from 2012 onwards have really change the Bali landscape fast like a lightspeed. First it was Kuta, then it become a cesspool of drunken tourists and fighting. Then it was Seminyak. Then it turned to expensive resorts and hotels place. And now it's canggu where many hip cafe and restaurants have keep popping up.
@@jrcxley you were so lucky. I wish I was in 70s Bali where only plenty of surfers visited and surfing and to witnessed Bali in authentic way before mass tourism change the place so drastically. And if you want to surf and see the authentic local area, visit Sumatera region. Still not crowded
This place reminds me of San Clemente’s T Street, great waves with a mix of really good guys and people who have no clue. It can be frustrating at times.
I am sure you are not really a goof surfer or at least, haven’t gone surfing long enough to experience, to meet people who don’t share turns. I dropped in on someone who just got a wave, cut the line up, and paddle into another wave without letting another surfer go first. If a surfer finish catching a wave, wait a few more wave give turns to others, or else, don’t get angry if someone see them as dckhead and dropped in on them. So no, there are people who dropped in on someone who are actually not the kook.
Never thought that way. But sounds fair. As long as they pull off. Just looking at Chungu. First surfed there in 1970, and a lot of years after that. It's a fantastic wave. But what comes spewing out of the river is disgusting.
I heard about legends of evil creatures like dragons lurking in the waters of Bali. However, I now see it is not a dragon but a snake that roams there.
The trade winds usually give it a bit of bump starting from around 10am-noon. It rarely stays glassy all day in Canggu. But due to the long range swells it is normally still rideable all day long unless the wind really picks up. Thanks for watching! :)
More snaking on this video than all the others I've watched. I'd just move down the beach Surely there's another beach break nearby. But the woman in the green bikini was worth the whole thing! Smokin!
The kind of guy who moved here to Hawaii and thinks Hawaii’s really a part of the United States.And after he signed up for a Maika’i card at Foodland, thinks he’s a local after two months on Island demanding a Kama’aina discount and callin cops on the locals cuz they ain’t wearing a mask. #tourist
This is just an example of the Euro backpacker mentality ... Torquay surfers who all have to go for the same wave and treat all waves like a party wave .... yeah great fun until a board flicks out into an eye socket
Once again, the local fighting thing, the sooner the “locals” realize just cuz you live in a certain place DOES NOT mean you can fight, onLy thing it means is you got ya boys with you,and if you need your boys,well that means you CANNOT fight.
always give way or waves to the locals in Bali, if you dont then its game on with the locals....after awhile they will let you know when to have a wave... thats my experience in Bali
I went on one trip they (very experienced local guides) took us to different beaches each day and the locals had placed a bunch of straight spikes in one beach because they were sick of tourists. We didn't see it until the tide went down. We didn't go to that beach again that week even though i think the guides already knew about the spikes and i suspect they were guiding us in waves that avoided them.
@@oliguayasebesteves166 No, clever comment, really, no tourist, no money, and your name is not carved in waves. Too many surfers think they own the sea, and forget they had to learn too at a time, they are the worst egocentric bunch of morons on earth.
@@alphascorpii185 It's about efficient resource allocation. I don't paddle out at pipeline and try to learn there; it would be bad for everybody. Plenty of place in Kuta you can learn to surf without putting other people in danger. Respect locals.
When you are learning you start at the bottom & work your way up. You have to put the time in. Nowadays too many kooks think they can ruin waves for everybody. Go down the beach & get some practising in.
Theres no such thing as "tourist should respect locals" or "locals should respect tourist" ,just keep the surf etiquette ,respect each other, and keep the goddamn good vibe at the water, well sorry tho, some of us are douche bag, Here's some : There's plenty good Beach for u to surf in Indonesia near Bali,less crowded and ofc less douche bag, its Wedi Awu beach located at Malang city,usually surf over there
The good guys have a cameraman filming, they train. Plus, locals will show respect if you surf properly but when they see an invasion of beginners, well that's what happens.
I drink my coffee at the same bench everyday at the park. Does that mean nobody else is allowed to sit there or that I have priority to sit there? Maybe I should write my name on the bench? Maybe Its time to not behave like a 5 year old? 😂
Surfing particular spots like Canggu, Uluwatu, Padang2, Snapper Rocks, J Bay, you must be willing to become a dhead. Because good people turn out losing opportunities lol
Yeah that's cause the waves are shit back home. Well in Christchurch where I grew up they were anyways lol. I live in Aus now. Waay better but still shit loads surfing. Gotta get out there at 5am
@@cloudcorp6733 bc they are kooks and idiots in topanga and malibu, super aggressive and not even good surfers! But they think that acting like that, make them look like a real surfers!! Poor guys!!
Eco beach is quite agressive as well but because really touristic, so the local are exausted. But the tourist are even more agressive at this spot sometimes
@@matqui3502 yeah no doubt. I live in FL now - there a nice spot here sebastian @ times . Some ' I'm from cali I'm gonna win the whole competition ' got roasted n didnt make it out of the first heat - karma
In addition to surfing better, a local should also know the priorities better ... if he drops the wave, whatever happens, it's his fault !!! Last summer in Tuscany I was watching young people taking a surf course, an instructor came up to tell me that it was dangerous to swim among the boards (we do not have restricted areas like in France). I replied that I was looking at how his kids didn't know precedence and that the foam boards aren't quite like a fiberglass ones without a noseguard ... at that point he realized he had to worry more about his children and his way of teaching.
No one teaches how to co-exist in the line up at these surf schools - a 10 minute chat about priority, localism and etiquette could save everyone some headaches and teach beginners some really robust rules to take out on the water with them. If in doubt throw up a shaka and yell "party wave" with a smile on your face
