Exact location.
Can anybody out there clarify for me if what they mean here by surf spot Tofino is simply North or South Chesterman. Or, is there another location north of Chesterman? Thanx

watch out
all surfers should be careful not to catch the latest strain of longboarditis. It is an infectious strain that is going around and seems to have affected Vancouver island heavily. The symptoms are, owning a board that measures more than 6 feet eight inches in lenght that is dinged and completely yellowed from baking in the sun or from heavy water intake. Other symptoms vary, a false sense of coolness or ownership of a wave, dropping in and squatting very low or standing straight legged, dropping in and going straight and the worst symptom of all not being able to go vertical on a wave. Some victims of this illness may be older and crotchety and might possibly stare you down in the water or ignore you if you acknowledge them. Please don't let this virus get you.

Surfed at Cox and Chesterman
Went surfing this weekend at Cox and Chesterman in Tofino. The waves were about 4' and broke in shallow water. There were alot of people out in the water however tons of breaks - enough to go around for everyone in the more shallow water - the more experianced surfers were out futher so I wasn't in the way at all (I'm still a long soft top rider)The locals were great and super friendly aside from the one girl who isisted on glaring me down in the water - not sure what her beef was? I'd like to see that attitude out at Jordon or Sombrio this winter you wouldn't get a ride! AND A NOTE to her troll of a friend who insisted on eye phuking my boyfriend while she posed in the water with her short board GIRL you didn't even get up once, guess its all about the "look" for you huh? Get over yourself! we all start somewhere at sometime - we were ALL beginners at some point. I'd rather ride a fat soft top and get up then be a poser in the water with a board I can't ride!! Beach was beautiful though.... took tons of pictures maybe I will post them up here later for you all to see.cheers, from a Sooke girl
