Whaaat, no smiling in the lineup?—A brief history of surf aggro

Surfing: it's all salty air, soul turns, and high vibes… until someone threatens to kill you in the lineup. 😬 In this episode, we're diving deep into the nastiest part of surf culture—surf aggro. From parking lot punch-ups to ancient Hawaiian blood feuds (yep, that happened), we're unpacking why such a blissful sport can bring out the worst in people. Who gets the brunt of it? Beginners, women, and—apparently—the dreaded intermediates. We also ask the big questions: Is surf rage ever justified? And what should you do if it happens to you? Part surf history, part cautionary tale, part cathartic vent. You might leave slightly more afraid of the ocean, but also way more prepared for it.
