Performance : *
Board : 94
Notes : Great waves this time in front of Taco Bell- the right. Problem was I was kind of surfing poorly. I was going for waves that I should have mad that I blew. And for that poor performance I was upbraided. It was kinda crowded and I noticed at the right by taco bell there was an older short board hot dog 360’ing on a lot of the waves (But not BB). I considered moving to the creek to avoid him but felt the waves were just too good at TB so I went into the mix. An hour into the mesh I took off on a wave. Someone dropped in right in front of me and I said “HEY”. It turned out to be that fucking guy. He proceeded to do a bunch of cutbacks in front of me and I actually said “sorry” and cut left into the whitewater. My thinking was “you are a better surfer and though you cut me off you can have the wave. Nevertheless, my olive branch to the jabroni went unappreciated. Paddling back out he turned to me and said agree like something along the lines of: “don’t fuckin complain when someone cuts in after you blow a bunch of waves.” I said nothing. I guess the logic is: “you had the chance at a lot of good waves and you missed them so you deserve to be dropped in on and have no right to complain about that fact.” Thing is it was true – I did blow a lot of waves. Didn’t know he was paying so much attention to me. I remember a similar argument years ago from the DUNDER at the HOOK. He screamed at me once when I was priority taking off on a right saying: “NO this is me you already blew two of my waves” I had know idea that I “blew” two of the DUNDERS waves. I guess the thinking is “I let you have the wave AND/OR you were in position for the wave and you either blew the wave and/or UNDERPERFORMED on a good wave therefore you can be dissed
