Or here’s some grainy footage on YouTube. *(Lack of talent maybe, too.)

SURFING: Violence and Localism
Posted on January 26th, 2009
The New York Times ran this article last week on localism at Pipeline in Hawaii. The article appears to have been inspired by this article in Outside. To some degree, you see localism at certain spots in fly fishing. Ever seen it escalate into violence?
