"Their subconscious is embedded with entitlement immediately at birth."
Amira Hasib, who goes by the handle thelittleloudlady on Instagram, turned to the platform, hours ago, to deliver a Daedalian direct-to-camera argument of why men should not be allowed to surf. First, she sets the scene. She was out on what must have been a longer board when a set broke outside and washed through. She declares that she, of course, knows the rules and surfers must either duck dive or turtle roll boards.
Well, as sometimes happens, the board was pulled from her hands, as she turtled, and bonked into the board of another gentleman. When she surfaced she was about to ask if he was ok when he opened his mouth and chastised for for failing to control her board.
The nerve.
She continued that this sort of aggressive behavior happens far too often and always by men. If women bonk boards, they ask after each other’s health first. Men just get angry and, therefore, should not be allowed to surf.
Support was near universal.
“I agreed without hearing the reason.”
“I grew up at the beach and this is so true. Why are they so emotional and dramatic?”
“Exactly! This applies to everything with men.”
“Was taught this very painful lesson by a wyt man at work- which is if they’re gonna be aggressive don’t give them an inch of grace or compromise. Because they will never acknowledge their wrong and only take it as an opportunity to fully blame you for everything.”
“Happens on the oregon coast all the time, but that area is predominantly white, so it’s not surprising. also happens in cycling and skating communities too. something in their brain just wants to let you know how much more experienced they are, even if they’re mid as hell. their subconscious is embedded with entitlement immediately at birth.”
Etc.
Are you convinced?
Ready to mothball the surfboard forevermore?
Fun while it lasted, I suppose.

From the comments:
Diplo – I also think it’s a place where everyone should be treated nicely and it’s a very slow learning curve for a lot of people and if your a great surfer go out to trestles or tahiti don’t be picking on kooks be kind or patient to new people because surfing is for everyone . and there’s always another wave behind you
I respectfully disagree. There might be another wave but it’s not a good wave (for another 10-20 mins). I think Diplo should stick to running.
Another gen Z entitled insta fucktard.
Can she make sandwiches?
The bigger achievement here is that she is the first black female surfer I’ve ever seen.
What is a turtle roll
Classic “Rage Bait” –
You’re fucken vile.
I didn’t want you to give off the wrong impression.
The edge lord melodramatics are pretty exhausting. What’s up, do you need a hug? Are you ok?
Note she said “white men” are surf bullies, I guess men of other races are in the clear.

Are the nails cut tight?
Surely I deserve something bigger after 35 yrs of marriage to Mrs Madeoff? Maybe a golden pinch hitter?
You might not be aware of this but saying women are lesser than dogs might be perceived as misogynistic.
You might not be aware of this but talking about “should it live” could perceived as saying trans people should die.

These complaints can largely be reduced down to “I want to violate existing etiquette without getting my feelings hurt”.
But I’ve also encountered a very specific type of asshole that surfs beginner breaks. Usually someone with average ability who really wishes they could dominate a lineup like HB pier but since they’re not good they buy a longboard and dominate kooks at Bolsa Chica.

Does that mean Sasha should or should not be allowed to surf?
It’s all so confusing….
