The goal of this chat is to unite everyone through a shared love of surfing. This chat is intended to be a welcoming space for people to talk and ask questions about the sport of surfing. While we understand and welcome people of all backgrounds and views there are countless forums and platforms for political and ideological discussions, and this chat is not one of them.
To ensure a positive and respectful environment, no political talk, hate speech, or personal attacks of any kind will be tolerated. If you engage in this conduct, you will be asked to stop and may be removed from the chat if necessary.
Surf related events in the area are welcome and encouraged to be shared. If you find these events to be of a political nature or offend your personal views you can chat with an admin privately and it will ultimately be up to their discretion to keep the post up or take it down. Any discourse around events that do not meet the community guidelines are subject for removal from the group. If we are notified of external conversations of a harassing nature, we will not hesitate to remove you.
Paddle-out format should be as follows:
Hey, there is a paddle out for [event name], details can be found [link to image or post], if you are interested we have a chat here: [link to external whatsapp chat], looking forward to connecting with all interested people!
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping our community friendly and focused on our common passion of surfing.
Be Good to One Another, or Be Gone.
