Usually..... I feel better after surfing. But I'm having
a hard day.
My buddy took me to this shore break today... and.. I know
it was a good break because there were alot of other
bodyboarders who showed up after we did. Even a couple
who were like... sponsored "pros". And yes... they were
very good.

But... I'm pissed off. And... I've been pissed for
about...oh... 7 and a half hours now. And... my pissed
off feeling is irrational.. BUT.. I just can't seem to get

over it! I am somewhat pissed at myself because... I suck
at riding big crashing waves that break at the shoreline.
So... today was basically 5 hours of me getting pounded
into the sand 1000 different ways.

But I'm also pissed because of a little.... altercation
in the water with one of these "pro" riders. Apparently..
.
. completely by accident... I got in his way when I caught

one of the few waves I was able to ride today. Now, I'm
not
saying that it's okay to get in someone's way. But, I was

in the pocket... and I did not see this guy take off. So,
I
get to shore all happy and when I paddle back out he
comes
over and gets all in my face about how I got in his way.
I'm stunned and try to apologize saying I had no idea
and I was trying to stay out of other people's ways. He
retorts
that this beach is not a place to "try" and that I better
get out of his way of get out of the water. Well.... now
that he's said this...there's no F*ing WAY I'm getting
out of the water whether I want to or not!

So.... now I have to avoid Mr "I'm a professional
bodyboarder with a sponsor....look at me... I'm so
pretty..." and still try to ride a break that I probably
wouldn't have picked if I had gone out alone today.
But my buddy is having a great time... and worse than
that.... he and this other buddy turn out to sort of know
this aggro dude.... so they are over there giving him
a blowjob (figuratively) because yeah... the guy rides
well. But I don't care because I think this "pro" guy
is a class A dick for acting like he did. And, I get even
MORE pissed because my "buddies" don't do anything
to diffuse the situation. I surfed like crap for 5 hours
and I was tired as all hell...but there was NO WAY
I was getting out of that water before that
sponsored asswipe.

::sigh:: It was just a stupid and frustrating
experience... I should be able to deal with stuff
like this better. I'm a grown woman for Pete's Sake!
But... I went ahead and took some additional action...
and maybe it was a petty thing to do. But... I did it
anyway. And I admit... I hope Mr. Asswipe has an
unpleasant tomorrow because of it.

I do feel better now. But.... Gee Whiz!.... I really
don't like this side of me very much. If you're still
reading... hope I didn't bum you out too! Tomorrow
I'm going back to a more suitable break for me. And
hopefully I will catch some sweet rides instead of the
wrath of Mr. Asswipe. And then I can return to being
happy and excited about bodyboarding again.
