took the groms to one of my favourite spots today and was confronted with this, older one asked what it said, then when it was briefly explained the next question was "why would someone do that?". Any helpful hints??

Do what was done at Cabarita years back and get your own paint and write 'Fat' or 'Dumb' in front of it.

'Dumb Locals Only'

They can have locals only, no worries. But if they were to surf any other break other than that one, then they're hypocrites really.

I 'love' how the bra boys are all locals only, then go and surf every other place they come across too. Luckily, the punks who wrote it probably weigh only 60 - 70kg, so just flatten them!

have a good idea who wrote it and will chat with them, localism is ok with me if it means we look after the place (keep it pristine, no burnouts, put out fires, treat people with respect and support each other in good times and bad) rather than express bad vibes to everyone we don't know. I might be dreaming but I see others down here doing it.

no Pup, just a few visitors who were staying in the 8 storey blight on the landscape 50m from this beautiful place!!! (not sure where these "locals" where at when we tried to stop it, managed to stop another one going up down the road)

I'm not sure where I stand with localism
Agreed writing graffiti like this doesn't do much but sometimes a more confronting approach is a better idea
I personally think a lot of people travel with little or no respect
Think the Sth West of WA
During tourist season there are camp fires, **** and toilet paper everywhere, rubbish, broken beer bottles all in the beach areas. Around where children normally play
On the roads there are all the usual hassles that city people usually experience and country people avoid
As for the surf
You will have half the lineup paddling for the one wave and six people taking off
There's drop ins, people getting run over, surf spots too crowded to surf
Yes locals have to be patient but tourists should show more respect
And people get upset when there's repercussions
Wake up to yourselves
If I was to go anywhere and behave like this I'd expect to get belted
