Sidestep - can you be surfed?

If a sidestepper is pushed back while ajacent to the sideline but while all other adjacent squares are filled with players, what happens to him? Is he...
a) A Crowd Pleaser - he is forced into the crowd as these squares do not count as occupied.
or...
b) A Crowd Teaser - he is able to enter an ajacent square occupied by another player, pushing him back in turn and thus avoiding the surf.
I'm not sure. Would need to check the rule book again but as far as I know its an ambiguous one.
Any thoughts? Has this ever come up with e.g. a sidestepping Wardancer or similar?
