Surfing is Broken

the “polite” regulators are not sending people in. They send them to the “main” peak.
I’ve also watched “polite” regulators regulate “aggro” regulators. not wanting the break making its way onto the local news/IG have come up.
chas writing an article about his beloved home break in 3,2,1…
This time I’ll play bad regulator and you play good regulator. Use the, “You have two strikes! You maim one more person and you’re doing life!” line.
I've seen quite a few people get sent back to the adjacent peak where straighthanders and party waves are not out of the question
Bastendorff doesn't need regulating, that's what the sharks are for.
It used to be poop, pulp mill effluent, freezing water, and crappy surf!
I saw a fair few refugees from the normal 'main' peak downbeach over the summer.
I am seeing lots of 'best peak' is now a containment zone. Some decent people, 95% of the one-man-crowds, and 95% of the k00ks.
If the one-man-crowds make their way down the beach in the future, I might falsely befriend them and then...it was the Apple Watch + Surfline that'll get 'em fucked off back to the sarcophagus/New Safe Confinement? Unsecret Santa Mode on standby.

This probably deserves its own thread in the General Forum, but I think it also fits here as further evidence that surfing is broken. If @Subway has anything to do with this, his mod badge should be pulled.
No I saw that clip or reel or insta ad or whatever a few weeks ago, threw up in my mouth a little, thought about the erBB, threw up again, then went about my day

It could’ve used some ice cubesThat wine and fin pairing was a classy touch.
Shirley is such a bizarre town for this. It’s outside of the “commuter ring” from the city. The waves there are all about the barrier island at smith point or Westhampton maybe, which can have their moments but it’s hardly a booming surf zone. Most of those central Suffolk guys either drive here or points east whenever there is real swell in the water
Subway did they privatize beach for this goonery and now they control a 'spot' or is it spread out B-grade and they aren't actually barring locals who don't join Crest?
There used to be a fairly localized crew at Smith Point (not a "point break" just a point of the barrier island chain) which is probably one of the closer and most consistent zones to Shirley. No way they can privatize even an inch of it. it's either public, or full on protected national seashore (also public)
How bad is the spot? Is it a sandlot you need DoD-level directions from Sharkbiscuit, just to get your ass whipped (relative to the surf on offer) for a couple onshore sections with fisherman building wax dolls of you and feeding them to every juvenile bonnethead shark they reel in, praying for your imminent death by attempted predation-induced catastrophic blood loss?
It's not better than the primo jetties in LB and Rockaway? It's not better than the epic, peaky Doritos at Random Guido?
I mean Tavarua pre-surf decree didn't claim it that hard. Crew are posting like it's Pasta Point or Lohifushi with a Euros/Israelis need not apply sign.

it's closed out dumpy shapeless beach break, except for maybe the occasional jetty or briefly cooperative sandbar
