1. Right of Way . The surfer closest to the peak gets priority. 2. Don’t Drop In . You are spoiling a wave of someone like you, who also enjoys surfing. Don’t do to others what you don’t want done to you. Wait for your turn. 3. Don’t Snake . Select the best position in the line-up and do not paddle around other surfers always wanting to catch all waves. Be patient. There are waves for everyone. 4. Don’t Get in the Way . Paddle wide, not through the peak, and stay in the water if you got caught inside and a surfer is enjoying his surf line. 5. The Furthest Out Gets Priority . Although longboarders may not use this rule wisely – leave some waves to shortboarders – in theory, they hold priority. Sense and sensibility tells them to avoid calling priority in all waves.
