More places I travelled+ The Quicksilver and Roxy pro+ Snake.
Tahiti We went there last year on the way to Brazil. Gorgeous Island . Stayed on the main Island of Tahiti itself. Gorgeous reef to snorkel in at the local beach. Lovely French language. Loved it!
New Zealand North Island Saw the famous left hander Raglands. It was freezing so I didn't surf there. Snowboard here for the first time, actually found skiing easier. I would always lean back to turn like in surfing. As as I did this I would fall.
The Quicksilver and Roxy pro Rocked today. Such great surfing from the guys and the girls. Us Surfing Mums sat under the Roxy tent- nice shade. Will down again tomorrow. Hope to see you there.
Snake of the surfer kind- I paddled for a wave and the other surfing guy was right there in front of me. I said "sorry" as I could have easierly have hit him. You know what he did. He paddles to inside of the wave and he tried to snake me. There was someone who dropped in on me also. There we are all 3 on the wave. The one in front of me dropped out. I looked at the snake straight in the eye there was no way I was getting off. It was quite crowded and I had been waiting patiently chatting with M, for a wave. It was mine and it was fun had a little wall. The nerve of that guy , Tried to snake me. So cheeky probably because I'm a girl.

Don't drop in on or snake your fellow surfer. In other words, do not catch a wave once another surfer has claimed it by being in a deeper or more effective position at takeoff.
A more subtle, yet potentially more offensive form of ride interference is the snake. This move is very bad etiquette, a greedy exploitation of the generally understood drop-in rule, and is usually practiced by competent and aggressive surfers. Snaking works like this: Surfer A, in position and having waited his or her turn, begins to paddle for the wave. Surfer B (the snake) waits until A's focus is purely on catching the wave, then makes a quick move to the inside and takes off, claiming the wave. If both surfers end up riding, it appears A has dropped in and is in the wrong, yet both surfers, and usually most onlookers, know otherwise.
