| * **Surf **- Needless to say the usual rules and etiquette of surfing apply. And you also have to figure out what, where, and how are appropriate for your skill level. Surfing shorebreak in a surfski becomes an increasingly advanced, demanding skill as bigger waves are attempted and clearly presents ample opportunity for damage to boat, body, and neighbor. Surfing mushy, non-breaking waves or catching swell farther out away from their break areas can provide plenty of less risky fun where you also avoid the intense competition for waves that popular surf breaks generate. | * **Surf **- Needless to say the usual rules and etiquette of surfing apply.
