unless there is a perpetual static wave in 12ft. water with glass on either side on every coast around the globe and the weather is sunny all year round with water temps in the 70's and air temps in the 80's you will never be able to please the masses. people will always go back and say the local spot is always better.
it's like the freestyle/freeride vs. racing thing. don't knock something unless you've tried..... unless you've traveled to another spot and experienced the riding, don't critique it based on what carts and maps tell you because things can always change , if things didn't change riding would be monotnous day in an day out.... go experience something new go exploring travel somewhere even if it is just a few hour car ride from where you are, you never know it just might surprise you.
guys no need to start a pissing match.... this is getting like an east coast west coast thing..... who gives a flying rats ass... ya'll are in the sport to enjoy it, not because it is a popularity contest and my freeride is better than your freeride.....go to an event with an open mind, if you don't like they way something was run, make a suggestion on how to make it better or better yet start a ride in your own area. thats how rides like the texas ride, lanier ride, daytona ride, wave daze, FSF, and all the other rides get started. people want to bring others together for the enjoyment of a common cause
