I feel like a complete jerk. Sano was full with a huge line waiting for people to leave, so I went to Doho and ran right into the ranger from yesterday who is a really nice lady who said she didn't intend to insult anyone, she just thinks of us as standup surfers and surfers. Which is exactly the distinction I've made here numerous times. She  said she gets exasperated enforcing the regulation and having to tell people  to move over and over. 

Nice lady, I feel like a real weenie.
Maybe you could have told her you were exasperated too, because you started out surfing in Oregon, and this is like the 30th time you've got told to move south, and you're running out of coast, plus you were supposed to only be gone for the afternoon and it's been 3 weeks now. 
Seriously, bad regulations are bad for the enforcers like her, too--taking time from better things to focus on, and creating animosity.  In Oregon, I've heard more than 27% of jail cells now are occupied by people doing time for recycling violations.

Don't fall for that "I'm only doing my job" BS...you think she would have put the bull-horn on Oprah?  PB, "the worst thing that happened to you, that can happen to any fighter: you got civilized";D

That seems unlikely.  I'm pretty they are in for jaywalking.
