Life is filled with mysteries, secrets that have eluded the greatest minds for centuries. Some hold the keys to the meaning of life; others are trifling puzzles more ludicrous than enlightening. This column's for the latter. If you're struggling with an odd surfing question and have no clue whom to ask, you're worries are over. Whether you wonder if Kelly got a weave or why there are no waves on Gilligan's Island, we'll split hairs to skipper you the news, little buddy. Just remember: the "querier" the better.
What is the safest method/technique to use in order to minimize injury if a collision with another surfer making a paddle out is eminent and manuevering around this person is impossible?
Obviously, using good judgement before and good communication during is key, but, what about those times when a collision is not avoidable?

What's the best technique for pushing a chronic shoulder-hopper off your wave? (Once the situation calls for it, of course.)

How is a veteran surfer supposed to deal with all the new grommies in the water today? Surfing has gone mainstream and now virtually every middle-schooler and up wants to be a looked upon as a surfer. That's all well and fine, but the water gets dangerously full of inexperienced kids floundering in the impact zone and making those really riding waves have to dodge and weave to keep from colliding with them. I'm starting to get really angry at the "intrusion" into what used to be a sport of solitude. Thanks.
