2. Do follow surf etiquette
3. Do not drop in on a local
4. Do not Snake waves
5. Do not paddle to the peak, ever
6. Do not take a wave when it is not your turn
7. Do surf the spots that are less crowded
8. Do not share photos or geotags of the surf. It is not crowded here and we all hope it stays that way.
