Won’t matter much. I’m used to places like the Cove, PC and Shorties.

Localism usually seems more about pride on land than pride in the water. having said that, I've settled on thinking some version of it is pretty ok, but that enforcers around here are mostly doing it wrong. in the case of our most famous spot, they're willing to sacrifice their own fun, which seems self-defeating. at other places, I've seen people try to pull locals-only stuff at mediocre or highly fickle waves that don't really have locals, which mostly just exposes you. the right way ... control the spot with skill and togetherness of a small crew. if non-locals want to paddle out and get scraps, that's fine so long as they don't bring a crowd, don't get in the way, and accept what they get. if they violate the rules, then i think its ok to suggest they go somewhere else. everyone knows the playing field, locals get all the good waves, and everyone can have fun. the best i've ever seen done in this way was a guy that openly explained the rules to people he thought might not be clear. if you didn't like them, you left. if you were ok with it, you sat and enjoyed watching and catching an occasional leftover. if you violated the rules ... well, no one really did.

Any spot between shorties and westport can get vibey on a day when its firing.
Sometimes they just don't even want you in the water. It sucks.

I never get vibed out anywhere else unless I make a mistake.
Just the spots near PDX. Arrgh.

dtrn- you may ask why the "Mermaided" is attached to your moniker. It was a term we made up for kooks who when surfing for the first or second time get their leash wrapped completely around both legs forcing them to flop around under water like a damn mermaid. Certainly not a reflection on how many years you have surfed, rather the number of posts you have uploaded to the ol crusty OSP.
