contests are boring to watch in person. the heats you're interested in watching go by super quick, but the ones you're not paying so much attention to drag on. To me it's even tougher to watch a contest when the surf is good cause I'd rather go surf myself somewhere away from the contest.Boneroni said:Was talking with a friend at work this morning about it and I realized that even though I enjoy watching them on a screen, I've never been to a surf contest.
Don't really feel like i'm missing out though.
No, I will not be attending. Surf should be really good though.
Seriously! If I have the time to be sitting on the beach doing nothing but watching, I have the time to be surfing. Hmmm, wonder which one I'd rather do...stu dog said:To me it's even tougher to watch a contest when the surf is good cause I'd rather go surf myself somewhere away from the contest.
surreal.pagey said:They always have water patrol to keep out interlopers (not always successful), but it's a true locals' contest, so most surfers respect that. This year they are running in the cove rather than up at the rivermouth, so free surfers will have a lot of room up top. Waves will be fun, especially on Sunday.
True. Not the best weekend to surf Rincon if you aren't in the contest. No parking anyway.obslop said:surreal.pagey said:They always have water patrol to keep out interlopers (not always successful), but it's a true locals' contest, so most surfers respect that.

you're sitting at the top of the cove with 100+ surfers up the point fighting like hell to catch waves and then as each wave approaches your spot in the line-up the surfer riding it has to exit so you can catch it.

Wow, missed that one, glad they are OK.SrPato said:My wife and I were sitting at Rincon Brewery in Carp yesterday when one of the waitresses told us that someone had nearly drowned during the contest. Word is that he was under water for several minutes but they were able to revive him. Does anybody have info on this?
We? Eunice, I thought you kept all of your "friends" in a basement in Rialto.Eunice said:how are the waves? we are thinking of attending to the queen tomorrow.
