Did no one read the OP's second post where he said he started to apologise but the guy just went off on one....
Admittedly the "or what" probably wasn't called for, I'd have just ignored him or laughed and turned away.
The one where he went to put his hand up to apologise but didn’t?
That's the one. You need to give someone time time to apologise, not just start ranting.
I’ve not long been back from a local beach it was packed must have be almost 12 people along the mile of beach.
I was sitting peacefully on a beach this afternoon, enjoying a quiet read, nobody for about 100 metres either side. Some people came along and plonked themselves maybe 10 metres from me at most. This is on a long straight beach, no bit being noticeably better than any other (apart from my apparently magnetic presence).
AIBU or is that the act of an utter psychopath?
This thread needs a them song
I wondered what had happened to SurfMat
Surf nazis have been around for decades, seems like this bloke was trying to behave like one, or like the berk at the bar, who gets mouthy because another customer gets nudged into his arm by a third party.
This was nobody’s fault, it was a pure accident caused by a natural phenomenon, a wave on a beach, and some jackass gets all bent out of shape about it. Only one person in the wrong here.
Been in again today, with my own 6 year old wetsuit and body board, all my own and not hired, had to buy the kids new wetsuits this year though as they keep growing. No shouty man thankfully but far less waves so he probably didn't deem it a good day for tourist bashing..
As for apologising , I did genuinely try, but **** him, anybody having a pop that quick deserves a full on **** off tablet. He probably, by the look of him doesn't get it that often, but I'm a bit like the bloke from the intolerant hot tub post these days.
I love meeting nice people on me holidays, like the chap I bothered tonight who was taking awesome long exposure pictures of the waves at dusk, but people like the guy I bumped in to, yes me, my fault, I'll front them up all day long!
Still sound like a door matt op
Better go buy a surfers book on etiquette
I hope it was my bro giving you what for as every bloody topic starts off whinging like a bitch on heat that can’t get any
But yh thanks for your money and your pollution 🤬🖕
Tdog, stop it, you're making me blush. You seem to not like me for some reason as you've been pretty hostile on some other posts. Anyway I'm not sure what a door mat is supposed to be or what I've been polluting by being here, as for surf etiquette we're talking swimming and body boarding here, your brother will tell you if you're not sure, it's the busy bit in between the flags where we try and stay so as not to make the lifeguards job any harder. I didn't jump on some bodies big wave at nazaré as they were flying in. I'll keep an eye out for your brother though.

Ah that’s a thing.
Oddly enough in other cultures it would be seen as bad manners if they didn’t do that.
If you don’t like confrontation while your’e in the sea,don’t go surfing at Saltburn
Why waste words?

What are you, 12?
2 British folk get shouty over nothing in the sea and act like idiots.
Round here (Spain), that is a typical summers day 😀

I’m guessing that you were at a bus stop. 😂
Just gets real same old opening a ****ty thread title then yeap spotting the poster and heck it’s that mid aged crisis wrightyson
Waste of internet space tbh
Anyway I know plenty of surfers that woulda done same thing as your m8 in the sea
Next time try sort your goproness out before you set out

The chips are ok.
I don't surf, I chuck 6oz leads into the sea. 🙂

Be careful in Goa as well. I once saw a lifeguard give a bloke a right smack cos he was on the wrong side of the red flag & kept ignoring the guards instruction to move, so he waded out & bopped him!
Have I missed something, or is Wrightyson the new target for you lot?
He's a site agent type so he deserves any criticism going.

Is he a new 'bighitter'? Or is that only when he's in the sea?
My climbing buddy came to to climbing from surfing. He can’t get over how chatty climbers are.
Surf's up dude
5 stars and 5’-7’ here (Laga, Basque Country) tomorrow according to MSW app. I shall be paddling out and trying not to get in anyone’s way.. The locals surf by the rocks and and are more than welcome to it.
Surfers are about as friendly as road cyclists around here.
And still they blurt on about surfers
Does nobody actually read the full thread (or even the opening statement) anymore before commenting.
Although it wouldnt be an STW thread without at least 30% of posters getting their arse in their hand about an entity that didnt exist at the start
(i.e NO SURFERS WERE INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT)
🤣
This thread has given me the phrase "go pro goon".
This I like.
