Chill out, surfers told

If surfers cannot hang five and control their tempers out on the waves then the police may have to join them out there, an Australian newspaper said today.

Surf rage – battles over the best swells – have become so bad that The Surfrider Foundation Australia is taking legal advice, warning wave riders that police may soon begin patrolling the ocean, and posting a code of ethics around beaches to educate surfers on etiquette, The Daily Telegraph reported.
