Having just crossed the threshold of 100,000 visits on Sissyfish -- and having been busted for kooking-out almost as many times -- I thought it might be good time to compile a list of the top 10 rules that everyone who picks up a soft top and rental suit should know before paddling out in Oregon. I'll start, and you guys can add to the list. Hopefully by the end we'll have something definitive, sacred, and infallible that we can chisel into a couple redwood blanks and hold over our heads at the crest of Cape Neahkahnie.
1. THOU SHALT NOT NAME, PHOTOGRAPH, (OR WRITE POETRY ABOUT) SURF BREAKS.
2. THOU SHALT NOT PARK IN THAT LOT.
3. THOU SHALT NOT PADDLE OUT WITH MORE THAN ONE PERSON.
4. THOU SHALT NOT HAVE A COLORED WETSUIT OR BOARD.
5. THOU SHALT NOT DISRESPECT THY LOCALS OR THY OLD CRUSTIES.
6. THOU SHALT NOT OVERESTIMATE THY ABILITY.
The rest is up to you... GO!

Thou shall not covet thy neighbors deer. Just kiddin'. How about thou shall pick up trash after a surf.
Nice pic!
Thou shall NOT surf the point, nor shall ye look in its direction
Thou shall not worry too much about the overbearing "Don'ts" of Oregon surfing and shall instead be stoked and feel how lucky we are to slide on waves.
-Tukhis
thou shall not bear false witness. ie, "the surf is epic in oregon, come on!"
I shall put Oregon plates on thy Cali registered car when I road trip through Oregon in search of waves.
"Old Crusties", yeah...
But the colored boards, I think we are past that, at least I hope so. Everything I am shaping is colored but then again, I am a local Crustie...
Best drawing to date. Well done.
thou shall not talk louder than everyone in the parking lot nor put wax on your soft top (i've actually seen it happen).
Thou shall not drop in on thy bros peak.
These are awesome. I like thou shalt not covet thy neighbors BEER better than deer... And thou shalt not have non-Oregon license plates. Nash, I wouldn't get any waves if I followed yours!
I'm off to the UK right now for the holidays. I'll check in soon!
And you've managed to kook it again. Namer. Give it up.

Thou SHALL groweth thy beard outward so that it lookith like your face is a mass of hair cloaked in a rubber cap in order to intimidate they salty neighbors.
thou shall not catch a wave, ever. if u want to do that you'll have to go to hawaii
thou shall get over thy self---it's just surfin' and just fun
thou shall not run a blog which hints or makes clear that oregon does have surf.
to prevent any further justification of surf in Oregon thou shall not respond to a thou shall not list. damn!
koook!
"thou shall not paddle out with more than one person." screw that! learn how to take turns, kooks!
The tablet in Moses' left hand is shaped like a Steve Steadman deck. Prophetic...
those are actually wooden mini simmons squar tails in Mo's hands, "caspers" .please see Joe Baugess and or Richard Kenvin.
Or they are alaia's with ill cuneiform scripts on them...
thou shalt not scare the locals by bringing fire or talking of the horseless carrages
thou shalt remain stoked and grateful for it!
