Surfers Should Challenge Waves, Not Each Other
- Share via
Whose ocean is it? As an active surfer since 1957, I find it a shame that some surfers don’t understand the value of enjoyment and camaraderie that surfers have shared since I began surfing.
Challenging the elements, not other surfers, has been an important part of my life. To have to fight your way into or out of the ocean is absurd. It is a lower form of animal thinking that brings out territorial rights. Richie Collins, as good as he may think he is, has a lot to learn about human rights and sharing.
