I like to take pics and I enjoy sharing them with friends. If someone doesn't like what I'm doing with my pics...I don't give a shit. I'm not trying to win a popularity contest, and if being seen was important to me I'm not trying real hard, or doing a good job of it. Maybe I should post pics on wannasurf, magicseaweed, oregon surf forums... Your argument really doesn't make much sense. I like to take pics and I enjoy sharing them with friends.

Oh snap, you do that don't you??I think it can takes years of recognition and skill to be local out here...not to mention a ZIP (or history of living there for 20+ years), along with respect to the underlying rules most surfer obide by. Seek and yee shall find. Take pictures and blast them on sites and yee shall be not liked.That being said...you appear to tread lightly on the pics. But if you don't care about popularity....then why post the pics in the first place???? I'd argue the being seen is very important to you...at least on the web.S-o That and not taking pictures of every beach you surf at. Oh snap, you do that don't you??

I'm going to disagree with your reasoning. I don't think popularity has anything to do with it. Popularity is not what I'm thinking about when I paddle out. Respect from other surfers is nice, but I could care less if you like me or not. Once a week...where'd you come up with that? You live there- you are local. You don't live there- you are a visitor. Visitors can receive equal, sometimes more, or less, respect than locals. Famous, or once a week, but no golden rule? I'm going to disagree with your reasoning.

You have to be recognizable to the folks who surf a spot. In order to be recognizable you either need to be a famous surfer or you need to surf there more than once a week.

Live in the town? Live in the state? And for how long? A summer/fall? 2-5 years? Or in the case of surf, do you just have to show up and surf it well? I've always wondered what it takes to be "local." Can someone please help me? So what do you have to do to be local? Live in the town? Live in the state? And for how long? A summer/fall? 2-5 years?

The "locals" at westport live in aberdeen, so theyre not technically any more "local," then the day trippersfrom B.C or the Bellevue brigade.The surfers that actually live in westport arent from there, they moved there, just like the majority of the "transplants" down in Cali. As for the seaside "locals," more transplants, thinking they have a secret spot that needs to be regulated. But if its on wannasurf, then it aint no secret, haha!! Talk all the crap ya want, if youre a jerk, i dont have a problem droppin in on you and crushing your wave. I'll act like a newb, and maybe go grab my 8' funboard i bought in bellevue and play dumb:) First of all, there are very few locals, if any.
