At some point during our surfing lives,

Of course, we got plenty North Shore Turtle references ("Wave breaks here, don't be there...") and also a slew of derogatory comments. But once we sifted through over 2000 submissions and collectively decided which captions made us chuckle out loud, the obvious favorites bubbled to the surface. Here are some of the staff's choice picks:



"You look like a waterman...could you watch my beach while I run to the bathroom?" - Noah Applegate



"Can you direct me to your next of kin?" - Chris Fulton



"Hop on, I'll take you to this left that Healey's been surfing." - Unknown



"Remember that time you got water in your snorkel in Cancun? This is going to be way worse." - Erich Devoy



"I don't care if your name is Eddie...you should NOT go out there." - Craig Collins



"I'm only gonna say this one more time: no floaties, no paddle out." - Brad Anderson



"Don't worry, I'm working on getting the beach black-balled for you right now." -- Conor



"But Mr. Lifeguard, Marine means water!" - Kay



"Hey brah, this is Pipeline not the buffet line." - Mark Wuilliez



"Sir, I don't care how fun it looked in 'Blue Crush', I can't let you do it." -- Jordy



And here are the winners:



THIRD (Wins boardsock From Wave Tribe)

"Wassell called in sick today. Do you think you can help us out?" - Zak Viverito



SECOND (Wins boardbag from Wave Tribe)

"Listen, I'm not doubting you're the king of the Reno Water Park. Or that you've watched 'Blue Crush' enough times to know what you're doing. All I'm suggesting is that the Turtle Bay Hilton buffet is going off right now. And let's be honest -- where would you rather be?" --Bjorn



FIRST (Wins $100 Swell.com gift card)

"Dude, the girl just wants her boogieboard back. Let's not do this the hard way." - Craig Wearne

most of us have felt the sense of being in over our heads. It could be during a rapidly rising swell. Or surrounded by a pack of heavy locals. Or even caught inside with nowhere to go.So when this photo crossed our desks of North Shore lifeguard Mikey Bruneau warning a seemingly inexperienced tourist of the dangers of Pipeline, somewhere deep down inside we sympathized with the guy. However, our users weren't as empathetic.
