What you call that comm that pulled out his gun on a kayaker a few months ago?

Just go drop in on some kooks at Windansea if you feel the need to be berated for insufficient local cred.

i spent 25 years surfing ventura and oxnard. gave beating and took beatings. i was the local for many many years acting out and being a dumbass tough guy. you defiantly will not see that out of me in kayak community. i gave up the surf years ago for the kinder sports.

I'm seeing the LJ area getting steadily more crowded. And with crowds comes attitude. I'm seeing more guys respond to my wave or "what's up" with a dead stare and then turning away.

Guys localize surf breaks to maximise a valuable resource. Waves. The launch in LJ isn't really a valuable resource that any one would bother tying to hoard. Mike

It's one of reason why I always bring a Gopro with me. Video can be a powerful testimony in court.

Really? Part of the reason you bring a Go Pro to LJ is in case you need video evidence in court?

I fish La Jolla all the time and people are super cool. Don't think I've ever had any real issues with anyone at the launch or on the water. I've had guys in yaks and boat get a little to close. Big deal. It's usually just someone who's new or doesn't realize they're crowding you. Tell them nicely, be a reasonable person, and don't look for a fight.

Save the Go Pro for all the

you catch. You'll have more fun.
