The riders that learned to follow the rotation learned that when its their turn they will get their wave to do whatever they want even if they mess it up at least its their wave to mess up. will get another chance.
Without the rotation there is always somebody in the way and nobody gets the wave and it goes to waste.
I believe the TT get in the way because they don't even see the rotation going on and just smash in there boosting or whatever(remember now you took a guys wave that has to go in the back of the line again) If they tried out the surfboard thing this is something they will most likely learn and sure can take it back to their TT and be fine out there with everybody else. The thing is i have never seen anybody go back to their TT so when you see one you know your day is going to be tough.
This is very true, and correct IMO.
In short - those out in waves on a TT, is most often "misplaced" and have no idea what is going on out there - and will destroy everything for most close to them
A simple fact taken out of experience.
Of course a very very few TT riders in waves ARE good waveriders, who understand how things work, in order to satisfy everyone and have/doing a rotation that works in respect for everybody
It is just, sorry to say, extremely rare and hardly ever seen - so I understand why most assume that TT riders dont understand what is going on out there
Mostly it is correct, and in rare cases, it is not....
As a very small fraction of waveriders are on TT's - but sooooo rare to see, and in many places it does not exist.
So understandable why many get this "anger" over TT riders in the surf, messing everything up quite often (but NOT always as stated).
Agree 100%, that it is hardly ever seen that good waveboard riders go back to TT's (in fact I dont think it has EVER been seen, except for those who could not learn)
Nothing racist about this - just a fact that close to 100% of the times, the TT riders DONT know what is going on
It has got nothing to do with "elitist" segregation - just common respect for each other out there
