The crowds there are nuts. And its so damn cold in winter. No thanks.I don’t know how anyone can have fun w the crowds. It’s like a Wilbur kookemyer cartoon when driving around the point: water packed, parking packed, traffic packed, n packed w people on bikes w boards. Ugh.
every time one of my oc buddies come up to LA to surf they say the same thing regarding the crowds. cant believe i even paddle out into that mess ,etc.I don’t know how anyone can have fun w the crowds.

I here ya. I occasionally surf in SC when I get desperate in the summer when nothings been working here: Have friends that live there n they just deal w it. & I guess lots of times many (most?) of the people in the lineup are “buoys” so can still get waves - they’re just kinda floating around out der.every time one of my oc buddies come up to LA to surf they say the same thing regarding the crowds. cant believe i even paddle out into that mess ,etc.
what the alternative? not surf? I get plenty of waves even at packed to the gills El Poopo. Its frustrating but not as frustrating as not surfing.
was pretty clear to me by the late 80's that sc was done. every era thinks theirs was the jam before it went to sh!t. mine was no golden age but once the southern bay area population started really booming sc's livability went markedly down hill as more and more people streamed over 17 dailyWas Santa Cruz always like that? Or did it change pretty recently
