Sign 6, they’re not a toxic gatekeeper yet

[artsurfliteratura]

I have been surfing for 38 years and for me all beginners are very welcome

[AD-hhdd]

Maybe not be gatekeepers and make fun of people who are still learning. Must make you feel superior though

[JN-nrwi]

Buddy talking like he started surfing as an expert 😂

[francescavigil]

I’m still considered a beginner and I don’t do any of this. These are people who don’t know anything about surfing but want to learn, don’t call them kooks or be rude, they are new.

“Signs of a beginner surfer: they do things wrong” you’ve been a beginner not only at surfing, but other things in life too. We don’t go into things as experts.

[DulceCatania]

Thats me and you know what fuck it at least I’m having a good time while learning.

[Philosophyofamillennial]

Yessss shaming ppl to try new things, way to go

[RandallRamsey-htrn]

1 sign someomes a kook

Calling someome a kook

[ntxwirj]

So what if they are new, and I have been surfing for 6 years and I still use the colored sun screen, I don’t understand stand why protecting your self from sunburn means you are new

Ok so I was at the beach a few months ago and I had just gotten out of the water I was taking of my wetsuit and this dude walks by with his wet suit and fin backwards and I couldn’t help but burst into laughter 😂

[tristanmoller]

I'm a beginner. All the real good surfers are awesome and super friendly. Chill and laid back as you'd expect surfers to be. Only ever met one rude person, who was not nice and kind of wanted me to leave for whatever reason but he wasn't that great at surfing himself either.

[julzn]

And you are born as a Genius and never was a beginner one surfing ha?! I dont like your vibe...thats not like surfers or skaters should do

[CTJEEPGUY]

I don’t know which one I laughed at more, the wetsuit or the fins

[Radxcor]

I've been surfing over 25 years now and I don't care what you say, Zinka still rocks.

[justpassingthrough]

A friend of mine sheepishly admitted that as a grommet, he waxed the bottom of his surfboard. He's now an old timer and a pretty good longboarder.

[arkhenaten]

God is there a community out there that isn’t toxic, I’m yet to find one

[moneybay]

surfing is a leisure activity. If you’re not having fun while doing it, try something else

[MapleBar]

1.) they wear a rash guard or anything under their wetsuit.
2.) they paddle with their feet spread apart.
3.) they sit on their board with the nose out of the water.
4.) they sit way too far out
5.) they care way too much about being cool and forgot it’s all about the stoke.

Just have fun and you’ll get there in time if you keep at it. HB in the house!
