Hell, I enjoy riding a longboard every now and then so I am definitely not hating. The difference with a shortboarder dominating, is that we're on equal ground. Makes it easier for me to battle for waves with someone that has the same take off point as me. Caleb- you’re right, it’s not longboarders as a whole, usually just one or two guys.

There does seem to be the one guy who doesn't think twice about catching every wave, never letting one go to the hungry short board pack. With that said, we both seem to agree that it's this one specific longboarder and not all of them and that's one of the main points here. I've been out in lineups where a short boarder is dominating, catching every wave too. By paddling around everyone as though they weren't there, dropping in occasionally and using his session momentum to freeze everyone else up. What do you do in that situation? Step it up, or vibe it up? Cameron-Although 20 yards might be a bit of an exaggeration, I do know what you mean.

The only thing that bothers me is when there's one specific guy that hogs ALL the waves. Obviously longboarders have a huge advantage when it comes to catching waves, they can do so from 20 yards further out than I can on a short board.
