Should localism be enforced at deadly surf breaks that can cause death or serious injury?? Northshore Hawaii is notorious for its localism in the lineup of the famous pipeline but for a very good reason! What do you think?

Localism is so toxic . . . . . . . . . #surf #surfing #surfer #learntosurf #surfinglife #surftips #beginnersurfer #1footwarrior #surflessons #huntingtonbeach

Localism is the black sheep of surfing. It's the most intimidating yet historically significant aspect. Surfing is magnetic, almost like a religion, if not indeed one, and from ancient times, it made a lot of sense. Fast forward to today, and localism is making negative waves. The issue with localism lies in its hostile, aggressive, and violent actions that have gone too far. It's time for a change. Surfcasual is an alternative surf community that fosters respect, empathy, and proper communication in the lineup. This is how surf culture should be transformed, by promoting a positive environment, Surfcasual encourages surfers to embrace the values of mutual respect and understanding, leading to a more enjoyable and harmonious surfing experience for us all. Join our movement. Stay core, stay casual.

Here’s my take on Localism… 🤷 #locals #only #rule #surfers #are #cooked #mybeach #mywaves #mychicks #gohome #pointbreak

“El localismo era necesario para poner orden en Pipeline” – Bruce Irons Video: surfenes #surferlife #surf #localismo #localism #peleas #polémica

“El localismo era necesario para poner orden en Pipeline” – Bruce Irons El #localismo en el surfing ha sido un tema de discusión y controversia. Esa práctica de defender los spots de surf, muchas veces de manera agresiva, ha generado tanto admiración como repudio en la comunidad surfista. Para algunos, el localismo es una #tradición necesaria para mantener el orden, mientras que, para otros, es una barrera que va en contra del espíritu del surf. ¿Qué dicen algunos surfistas profesionales? En este video escuchamos la voz de Bruce Irons, hermano de #AndyIrons, recuerda la importancia del localismo en lugares como #Pipeline. “El localismo era necesario para poner orden en Pipeline”, dice Bruce, subrayando que había personas muriendo en Pipeline a causa de la falta de orden. El brasileño Gabriel Medina, ha hablado en diversas ocasiones sobre la necesidad de que los surfistas respeten las reglas no escritas de los lugares que visitan. Por su parte, la surfista profesional Tyler Wright, defiende un surfing más inclusivo, donde el respeto y la camaradería son prioritarios. ¿Es el localismo una tradición que debe ser preservada o una barrera obsoleta que divide a la comunidad del surfing? Comparte tu experiencia con el localismo, ¿cuál sería la solución ideal?

Be careful out there! Straights often lurk in nearby lineups and are prone to aggression when faced with groups of queer surfers. Historically they’ve dominated most breaks but their dwindling numbers suggest that their adaptation of localism rather than community has diminished their advantage of the sport. Stay alert and sashay your wave firmly if a straight tries to come for it! This is obviously a joke and we love all our straight surfers and instructors. Gay Surf Week happily and proudly shares the waves with all respectful surfers! #surfing #travel #gaytravel #queersurf #gaysurfer #lgbt #retreat #costarica #surfer #queer
