There's a blitz among 15 surfers, youve got all your gear on & you walk down to the beach. You gonna cast, or turn around and go somewhere else?

Equivalent: The surf is up, you got your wetsuit & board, its one of your favorite waves to ride. You gonna go home cause someone is fishing?

Very well said. As mentioned earlier we should learn to co-exist. We're 2 specialty activities that have a lot of unwritten rules to follow. Good ole common sense is sometimes lacking these days. If I saw a surfer coming in my casting area I would explain what the risk for him/her is.
