Why everyone hate on Laird?

also how do we feel about Garret McNamara?
I've been in the line-up a few times with Garret and have never seen a problem with him other then he'll ride a SUP at crowded Laniakea but he doesn't get overly greedy. At the outer reefs back in the small crowd days he would sit in the pack and talk story but mostly I would run into him at real obscure spots were he would be surfing or towing solo. If he was towing he'd move on when I showed up. I once asked a low key sponsored big wave surfer what he thought about all of Garret's hype and he said that it was great for the sport.

Novelty sandbar / lagoon has shown up 5 minutes from my house. Pretty much empty every day. The grom loves it. Have met some chill, fellow new parents from the neighborhood there. Old timers say it only happens a couple times a decade. Hawaii not pau.
This spot is usually uncrowded year around , located just below a well known hike

Ah perfect! Ive surfed a few big swells on the NW wrap exposures of kauai, wasnt sure how generous the wrap would be. I'll be looking to surf something in the DOH range, nothing bigger (As Im there with the GF and she will probably freak out) I get there Friday so wish me luck!
How was the trip?
