Wave hogging = not cool
If you have to ask yourself “have I caught too many waves? Should I be letting someone else have a chance at one?” Then the answer is yes! You are a wave hog…. It’s time to share. Hopefully we have all had those amazing days in the water. When it just feels like you are in rhythm with the ocean and waves just keep coming your way. If you have not ever had one of those magic days stay tuned for the next blog on how to catch more waves in the lineup.
So, what now? Well for starters, you do not want to be that person paddling around everyone and taking back-to-back waves. Not cool man. The next time you paddle out, even if you happen to be in position for the wave. Offer it up to someone else. When I have those magic sessions and am starting to feel like I may be getting greedy I simply say out loud, “I am not going on this one”. Or I will call someone else into the wave.
Also I am a big believer in “what goes around comes around”. So in short. Share the waves and the ocean will keep on rewarding you. Stay tuned for more tips and tricks
