For all you beginners out there - here's a great example of what NOT to do. This wave belongs to the guy who is the deepest, in this case, the longboarder. The guy on the shoulder ended up not going but take a look at what he did to the wave. He practically closed out a section and ruined the wave for the longboarder guy and he probably thought he was being nice by pulling out. Here's the deal - If a guy is paddling deeper than you, and he's got even the smallest chance of making it - don't even go for the wave. Don't paddled for it, don't look over the lip and definitely don't drop in. If you do this, you'll make the session better for everybody.
