You're absolutely correct JohnR. After all he is "Our" guy. He is protecting our pastime and it's up to us to "Train" him. I use train for lack of a better word. He'll learn with experience the difference between poachers and surfmen. If we do it right , he'll also thank God that it's one of us on the wee hour patrols and not some drunken, littering, poaching, bottle breaking , stoned,vandalizing jerks. In time he'll realize that we who are sportsmen are ultimately those who hired him to protect our interests in the surf. If he learns respect, fairness, and interest, then he will develope a mutual respect with the law abiding types. We'll get FROM him what we give TO him.
