Surfing Rulebook


Surfing Magazine created “The Rulebook”, a list of playfully, sarcastic rules for surfers to abide by, or define. Playing off this idea, I have conjured some surfing rules of my own.

Rule #1: If a surfboard in your house has been deprived from water, collecting gnar for more than six months, it’s free game.

Rule #2: If you borrow your bro or brodette’s board and ding it, own up. And don’t make an extravagant story has to how it happened. Nobody saw a ten-foot set or the sea monster that day.

Rule #3:Chick surfers automatically get kudos for surfing in a bikini. 50% of a successful duck-dive is keeping your bottoms on.

Rule #4: There’s a 15 minute grace period to catch a wave in after your mate has reached shore. After that, find your own ride home.

Rule #5: Eating bananas does not ensure a cramp-free sesh.

Rule #6: The line-up is not happy hour, don’t spend your sesh spittin game to the cutie riding the short board. However, if you’re so talented as to remember their phone number…rock on.

Rule #7: If you kindly bum a ride to the break and don’t plan on throwing down gas money, you better bring wax.
