okay, this just about takes the cake. apparently there are so many frelling surfers in cornwall (the cranky celtic bit of the island of britain in the southwest whose welsh-cousin language, cernoweg, i happen to be learning) that they are having a problem with a kind of road rage: surf rage.
The British Surfing Association says at the moment such incidents are rare.But it is encouraging would-be surfers to have lessons with approved instructors to learn how to avoid trouble.
More than 2,000 surfers, body boarders and swimmers can pack the sea at Fistral Beach near Newquay at its busiest.
Lifeguard Tristan Perry says it can lead to surf rage.
He said: "It is just a case of too many people and too few waves so the local people get a bit annoyed when they see people they have not seen before crowding it up. It is like road rage, but in the surf."
i swear, i never in my wildest imaginings saw this happening in cornwall. i mean, socal? given. nias island? expats are frelling cranky bitches eh.
but cornwall? those bitches is picturesque villages on the wrong side of the north atlantic. i just keep getting flashes of my visit to canadia's maritime region of nova scotia & it makes my little peabrain hurt to try to imagine a surfing community, nevermind an overstuffed one.
weeeeird.
