More local bla - To all 'locals only attitude' people, realize that you are indirectly telling yourself to never surf anywhere else in the world except your 'own' spot. Are you sure you want to miss out on i.e. Hossegor, France?
But yes.... I agree, crack down on people who drop in and/or snake too much, with a smile though while possible. Many/most beginners just do not realize, explain and see eyes open up.
Travelling surfers are still guests. Surfed places with strong localism, locals still calling me into waves, just by being humble.
Anyway, Canada is great eh?
Eurotrash.

haha Locals - Ha, 90% of the tofino "locals" didn't grow up there. Hahaaha
Don't believe the hype. When I'm in the water it's 100% respect to the surfers that been surfing the spot longer or who are better surfers. But if they snake me too much and get agro; F U and have fun driving home with flat tires.
