if it caused all events to be cut down to 1 day + practice it's a great trade for the local surfersCatch-22. It’s included in the package and everybody has a share!
They should do this at all events.

wsl is pushing it.
- Thread starter bonzer5fin
- Start date
They were wearing their jerseys in a timed situation, should have just called it an expression session and it likely wouldn't be questioned...
I remember this and Kainoa and stuff and hawaii are one thing- that's hawaii - they make some rules
but this is america - and people should paddle out and surf, fuck 'em - this is people vs. other people and the only god is money
To be clear - im questioning the entire concept of private groups reserving public lands for their personal use. But i bet you're right in general.
It's an Event/Contest and not Personal use. What is so hard to comprehend this as comps are all over.
yes, Uppers
no - it's reserved for only a special group of people, not sure what's so hard to comprehend about that as comps are all over.

Event. Set one up and you can do it also
This is why I try to avoid discussions on the internet. This guy immediately gets snarky over a valid question, then the entire reason he's acting like that is over semantics. He clearly gets the point.
The "event" is personal/private/exclusive to that group, but it's on public space. I'm sure you understand what im saying even though you didn't like the word i used, you even repeated what i said.
Did you see that poster on the over pass in SC?
Usually they post MAGA sh!t.
Some dumb trump nut in SC.
That town!
Pro surfing is like the carnival coming to town.

wait. what? they were "practicing" in thrir jerseys in timed situations? like rehearsing scripted heats?
i hope they worked on their post heat interviews as well back in the studio.
On Oahu a private group can reserve a public space for private events by obtaining the required permits. It’s done all the time, not just for surf contests. Movie, television productions shut down major roadways all day for a scene that’s barely ever over a minute long. All in the way of promoting tourism.
Remember Blue Crush or North Shore. They shut down access to Pipe for those movie contests. 100% helped that they used the gnarliest Pipe guys and Hui uncles as minor characters and extras.
Don’t have a clue about the WSL and Trestles but I bet the tourism board is bending over backwards to help WSL promote sunny SoCal.
The erBB should form some sort of private group, pool everybody's money, obtain the permits and close spots for BS contests.
Not snarky at all, whatever the word is and YES it can be done on public places like Parks, Beaches, Trails, etc. Its done all the time...
rode by them yesterday and they are HUGE. Kids got so much support and pressure.
it's fun seeing an A haole gets what's coming to him but I grew up with a kid like that. It was amazing - when he was say 8 he would antagonize the older kids until they would hit him. But he wouldn't stop even after being hit a lot. I realized then to stay away from him - it was weird - I think you could have cut his fingers off and he would have kept going. I've thought about that kid a bit and I think there's people like that and you can be sucked in by them if you're not careful.
I understand that it's done, we've all seen that it's done - there's a lot of contests. I'm just questioning whether or not it's "right".
I'd probably argue it's wrong to reserve public land for private use in general. If whatever event it is brings in significant revenue for the local economy maybe there's a greater good, but I bet the vast majority of these situations don't bring in significant revenue (WSL perhaps an exception).
