Don't just respect the locals, respect the place.
I'm a Thurso local, been surfing for 2 an a half yrs, only surfed thurso east 3 times because i can't get a wave ahead of visiting surfers. They are at a level above me and just position themselves deeper, take the wave, paddle back out and so it continues. Most of the visiting surfers who surf east just come up when they know a swell is arriving, surf for 3 days, then take off. without checking out the conuty, without getting the crack with the locals, then leave saying thurso's a shit place. This ain't sour grapes either as i'm a goofy and love lefts. Karma is real. Remember it.

respect the locals
The last comment makes me a bit sad. Hopefully disrespectful travelers are not the norm. As a frequent surf traveler i hope to me in Caithness this autumn, and would hate to see non-locals being hassly in the water. If the locals are still cool then it's a rare gift and you should return the respect double. Don't make it another Bali/Canaries/Maritius situation.

Respect the Locals
Any visiting surfers to thurso, please show respect to the locals, as it has been distinctly missing in the water since the QS events of the last 2 years.Things will start to happen to visitors snaking, dropping in, hogging the waves, littering and being twats in general.We are sound people up here, not like the 'hillbillys' we are perceived to be and deserve a lot more respect.Enjoy the place, remember KARMA
