Hopefully not. > > Geoff I live on the East coast and like to kayak surf but not board surf. I was always clueless as to the reason for surf rules. Thanks for the explanation. Clears things up. I tend to stay/play much further out than the board surfers simply because I can and it eliminates tensions. I'm just a dad and really would feel silly fighting on the beach over anything anymore. Plus I would likely lose. I am going to introduce my 11 yr old daughter to board surfing soon. Her sense of balance and adventure is pretty amazing. This should really open my eyes quite a bit to a new world. My wife wants to try kite boarding but I think we missed that window of opportunity.
