As if!
to my utterly suprise, the surfers around the anles/molde area are quite solid and tuned in on their waves, not letting any stranger get a piece of the action. Havent had any bad experiences though but I've heard of people getting shits from the locals for leaving garbage on the beach, putting surfbrand stickers on every roadsign, being rude to local farmers and not respecting general surf rules (specially those aplying for visiting surfers) That sucks! and no wonder their protective of their spot when mayority of visitors screw up their easygoing rep with the nonsurfing community living there. Ive done plenty surf travelling and this is very common, but I get treated like any other shithead visitor just cuz every other visitor is a shithead. And without realising it themselfes their the pricks, not the locals, theire just fed up with urban surferwannabees making everybody think that all surfers, locals included, litter the beach and being dickheads to whoever like ferrycrew, girl in local shop or whatever.... get a fakken grip or stay out people, and dont blame the locals, theire the ones cleaning up your poo!

Unnecessary localism
It seems to me that the "locals" at some of the Norwegian surfspots is being slightly narrowminded and overdramatic. I can understand that the local surfers of the more known and thus crowded spots in south europe gets annoyed when hordes of tourists continuously comes to their home spot. This is generally not the case in Norway though, with a small amount of people keen enough to go surfing when the waves are good and the temperature gets low. I think the locals of the spots could be more forthcoming towards visiting surfers, instead of creating this "wannabe-localism".

Locals
I went to this place 3 weeks ago.. Locals didn't give me one wave. Dropped in, and were total fucking idiots. Got out of the water after half an hour, only to see my tyres were flat, and windshield waxed down.. My shittiest surf experience ever! I would never recomend you go there.
