Following surf etiquette will keep you safe and prevent some negative interactions.
Don’t be like this poor guy who drove down a sandy beach road, got stuck and blocked the road to one of the best breaks in Maui, Hawaii.
A less dramatic incident could involve a ticked off surfer breaking off your fins or worse. Learn the rules so you don’t create bad situations.
