Is there any good way to communicate to the twin-tip mafia that now hang out at Scarborough/Trigg, the 'right-of-way' rules associated with wave riding?
I.e. rider leaving beach heading out to sea does NOT have right of way, and must yield / go down-wind to avoid riders already on waves heading towards the shore??
Why is this so hard to understand?
"Common sense" is not common. Logic is a skill that only a few people possess.
More often than not things need to be explicitly taught. Tell them to F-off!!!

Ha ha that's what wave riders get for being in the waves all the time 
Fixed it for you
I thought people leaving the beach have right of way and the show boaters must let them out to enjoy the ocean too.

Suggest you need to refresh yourself on the 'right of way' rules, when it involves actually surfing waves - not mowing the lawn...

If you're not riding the waves, what are you doing in the wave zone?

If you're not wasting all the waves and hogging all the ramps on a surfboard then you should be sending it my good man! & cursing every wave hog that you can boost over
