How is your relationship with board surfers in the water?
In Hawaii we’re very tolerant of all forms of ocean recreation. Boogie boarding is crazy popular here. At Pipeline more often than not the lineup is mostly bodyboarders. Some lineups are more suitable for longboarding, certain waves are better for short boards, etc.; but occasionally there’s a crossover, whic is fine, so long as the operator of the craft is competent. The only time people get upset is if someone’s taking too many waves or dropping in. An asshole is an asshole, regardless of what kind of craft he’s on.
