The season isnt that long. The last thing you need is three weeks of it taken up by a bunch of competitive minded folk and there hangers. In the end what is there to gain from it. Very little for the average bloke. I wonder if the problems with cloud break in Fiji started with the influence of money crowds and big personalities? Now you cant even go there if you want to.
A big comp at a place like bells or margret river doesnt seem to have such an affect on the locals or impact the enviroment as much or maybe it does. i would be darks as if a large crew rocked up at my local and said you cant surf there for two weeks. Although at my local there proberbally wouldn't be any waves anyhow.
Pro surfing seems ok Its cool to watch on the tele but if it disappeared who would loose out. proberbaly no one.
So if an Australian wins the world championship its good (pro surfing) but if they dont its bad? Thats what it sounds like.
I must admit I get P#ssed of when there is a comp @ the spot (secret spot) lol, so then I go find somwhere else to surf, how about Snapper when the tour is there, how many people are p#ssed of by this and more people surf there I think??
