The Inertia

Localism is ridiculous. It certain situations, it makes sense. Ideally, it keeps down the crowds, keeps out the clueless, keeps the drop ins in check, and make the line ups safer and more enjoyable for all. Ideally, though, is rarely what actually happens in the real world–people in general are stupid and aggressive and will use any excuse to pound their chests like a male silverback, especially when they’ve fallen victim to a pack mentality. “Localism” is a fantastic excuse for dumb, insecure people to show their dumb, insecure friends that they’ve got huge dicks. If you can’t flex your arms, flex your nuts, right? Gotta flex nuts.

Take Lunada/Lechuga Bay. Sure, a bit of locals-only is ok. Respect the elders, keep things safe. But a bunch of rich guys that can’t surf all that well chucking rocks at anyone who dares show their face on the beach?  Not ok. It’s so ridiculous it deserves to be made fun of… and the guys who made this video did it pretty well.
