Big Hole and Property Rights

Surfing Property Rights is described in a blog posting. Interesting read. Went out to DH this morning on my cherry CISF to find sideshore winds already whipping up a frenzy at 7 a.m. Nothing much happening except mushing walls and bodies flying. Then it happened.. a guy on a wave bailed in front of my and his board rammed into my beloved green machine and put a fist size hole on the deck squishing much foam. It was one of those situations where I should have duckdived, but I thought he would have creamed my head, so I tried to roll out of the wave and he ended up landing on my as I dove down deeper. Looks like the nose of his board speared mine. So, off to Jay's shop for another costly repair... arghh.
