KNOW THE RULES OF SURFING    The Unwritten Code

Safety is priority! There is no handbook for the rules of surfing, just as there are no surf police or reef referees.
It is up to surfers to regulate each other, so check out these guidelines before
It is up to surfers to regulate each other, so check out these guidelines before someone puts you in check.
 Only two people per wave, one goes left and one goes right. The person closest to the peak has the right of way.
Once the right of way has been established, that person has the wave.
Don’t drop in! That’s when you paddle for a wave someone is already surfing on or has called the wave.
Look both ways before crossing the street, if you don’t it’s dangerous. Some places will say it’
Some places will say it’s whoever stands up first, but that rule doesn’t apply in Hawaii.
This is the easiest way to start a confrontation, you’ll either get kicked out, or your butt kicked.
Don’t paddle up the middle. Go around. Stay out of the way when you’re not surfing.
If you can’t get a good distance away from the face of a wave when a surfer is riding, go towards the whitewash.
Don’t ditch your board! The wave pushing you backwards, your leash plus the length of your board is very
dangerous for anyone near you. You’re probably not surfing 20ft+ Hawaiian waves, so control yo
If you’re a beginner, don’t paddle out to the peak unless you’re a really hot chick.
If you can catch a lot of waves, let some go by so others can surf the good waves too.
Show respect for the older folks. They were surfing before you could swim, so share and give them some waves.
They’re also a good source of advice, so if an elder snaps at you, you better listen.
If you make a mistake, show some respect for that surfer and yourself by apologizing.
If you don’t, you’re a kook and you deserved to get beat up.
If you’re not from Hawaii, you are not a local. Respect the locals. 
Know where you’re going, what the waves are like, and what the crowd is like.
Don’t surf in waves above your ability or experience, it’s dangerous for others and yourself.
Waikiki is a good place to start by taking a lesson, and the waves are relatively easy.
