A Surfer's Code by Shaun Tomson
- from the book "Surfer's Code"
I Will Never Turn My Back on the Ocean
I Will Paddle Around the Impact Zone
I Will Take the Drop with Commitment
I Will Never Fight a Rip Tide
I Will Paddle Back Out
I Will Watch Out for Other Surfers
There Will Always Be Another Wave
I Will Always Ride into Shore
I Will Pass Along My Stoke
I Will Catch a Wave Every Day
(even in my mind)
I Will Honor the Sport of Kings

1. Right of Way: Furthest inside, closest to the peak.
2. Do Not: Drop in or Snake.
3. Paddling Out: Paddle Wide. Caught inside stay in the white water.
4. Remember to Communicate: First to feet or on the wave. Call Communicate (Left or Right)
5. Always: Surf with Your Ability. No big waves until ready. Take off with commitment. Paddle hard.
6. Danger: Do not let go of your board, it's a danger to others. |
