For those on here who frequent PR who has ever had any issues with localism there particularly at Domes. I have been to PR about 15 times and never had any issues until some 20 year old kid paddled in front of me on a crowded day at Domes to tell me "the peak is for locals, go to the inside". I didn't and got some more glares but nothing else. No idea why this happened. I tried to find out when the kid was trying to get aggressive but couldn't get any reason. Anyone else had this happen? I understand some of the Puerto Ricans hate us but never had any real issues.

Been 13 times and never had an issue anywhere in PR with locals. More issues with people from NJ and NY, and the old ladys at seniors (surfers) beach that have even less surf etiquette than the ricans.

The perks of being Hispanic - blending in wherever you surf on trips. I actually had other travelers yield to me because they think I'm a local, it's awesome haha

No place like Hawaii for localism. But I've experienced it pretty bad or seen it bad everywhere from Spanish House to Nica.

2015 I was at Middles in the lineup. A guy came strolling onto the beach with a speedo on grasping what looked like a 6'3 epoxy pop out. I was sitting on the shoulder catching the scrapps left over from the every day crew when I hear them hooting and hollering laughing and splashing water at the apparent French man paddling out to them. Everyone was laughing and mocking his attire in a not so welcoming way (aka no locals knew who he was) Suddenly he managed to sit on top of the line up drop in on three guys i wouldn't dream of dropping in near and top to bottom out surfs every one that day. The local guys stopped mocking him after he snaked them and were quick to welcome him after the impressive performance surfing in a speedo with hairy scraggly legs. I am not sure if the aggressive I will drop in on everyone and prove I am worth being out here is the best way or gaining priority by being patient and respectful. Just depends on who you are and where your surfing I guess.. I have never had a problem with local ism anywhere in the U.S. Ohhhh wait there was that one time I went to OB SD HAHAHAHAH Never Mind

Your first wave better be a good one. In my experience, if you botch that one in full view, you may as well pack it up.

I just talk real loud and use my hands a lot, seems to work well
also throw in a little Spanish accent and add a "o" to the end of a lot of english words
I get any wave I want after that

Or: one could take some small effort before going to spend a little time practicing some spanish? In my my experiences, any attempt at even fumbling, amateurish spanish conversation seemed to help a lot
Try: i really love puerto rican music and food. Do you have any suggestions? ------------------------- It's a democratic hoax |

one of my favorites was when dudes from Norfolk tried to pull local status on us at the jetties at Hatteras
------------------------- "I remember South Africa in the late 70's, sleeping on the beach at J-bay, smoking ganja with the blacks. On weekends we'd go to the pub in East London to drink beer and fight with the Afrikaners. They liked to fight, I liked to fight. It was a good time" |

At Jobos a few years ago and saw a surf instructor paddle out from a distance with an ankle leash on BOTH legs. The wife ask me and I just guess he is helping the student get outside. Later I realize it's a ankle monitor. Big dude. I stay clear.
