My sister is an avid surfer in hawaii, when she gets the wave hoggers around she says' Hey guys, its that time of the month, can you help me look for sharks?" That scatters them pretty good and she gets the wave set to herself.

That is great Cass! Kudos to Sis! For those of you who don't live in California or similar locales like Hawaii, surfers can get very territorial over waves, and often fights will break out on the beach. I've seen some nasty wave fights break out in Santa Cruz. I have some girlfriends who are avid surfers and sometimes macho surfer dudes will try to force them out of the wave. Most surfer dudes though are fairly mellow....there is always a few arseholes though in every group.
