Steamer Lane voted #1 surf city

[albert]

I can't remember anybody ever getting a fifty yard long tube ride in
a kneelo contest.

I can remember somebody getting bumped in a heat who
caught scoring waves to a fat SD chick who floated the
entire heat...

I cant remember seeing any more than 2 or 3 people ever getting fifty yard long tube rides. How often would you say it happens?

Lots of pi$$ and vinegar lately, Scotty. And not just here...

Hmmm.

Looked pretty fun today. Too bad I was in at 4AM, and just got home from work.

Maybe a bit of repast is in order for us both.

I thought the courts settled the surf city issue 50yd tube ride.... I will take a 50yd ride without someone droping in on me. Contest Waves you can,t allways get what you want but if you try some times you de dumb dumb dumb......

Whatever with the surf city deal; only city officials marketing bull sh%t care.
As far as this post turning on contests and their shortcomings, well, they are not for everyone.
It would be wonderful to have the best venues on the very best days, BUT HELLO, let' be realistic. Organizing such events require big bucks, time, and the ever temperamental sometime bitchy, Mother Nature to cooperate.
Personally, I find riding barrels easier than a critical lip smack. They are both legitimate moves with their degree of difficulty.
I guess I resent the conventional thought that we all knee board just for the barrel. AGAIN, WHATEVER. Some people like chocolate ice cream, others, vanilla.

Steamer Lane is a city? WTF?

I assume they mean Santa Cruz? Can't say I disagree. The day after the nationals last january, there were at least 400 people paddling surfboards at Cowells, 8 to a wave...

There is also a "Surf City" on the map just west of Lompoc, CA.

[Bintang Bob]

stop all the fuss.... "surf city" is Gisborne, New Zealand.... just come visit & you'll see why....

You want consistent surf? Bali/Indo in June and July where you are all but guaranteed 2 solid swells every 10 days and the wind WILL be offshore.

You want 50 yard barrels? Easy ... G-Land! Think Money Trees & Speedies.

Surf City? In the most pure sense of the words ... Kuta. It might be a shambles of a place ... chaotic, unplanned and a borderline third word slum, not have the plastic facade of Huntington or Torquay, be steeped in the longboard history of Santa Cruz or the machismo of the North Shore but it is where any surfer can go and find world class waves to match their ability. A town where surfing oozes out of every day to day pore of the town whether it be the surf shops, bars, restaurants, art markets, street hawkers or warungs - a town built by surfers for surfers.
