Hoax - MateI've been surfing the west coast of tassie for 27 years, this is a hoax! Trial, Greens, Thunder are all OK! There are more, show respect if you visit and you will get it back.Kostazulu

i know... - i wonder the same... its about the find, not the www.gimmewavesnow.com she-hat. my local, dubious and most probably worst wave in the world (see joss bay, Kent, UK if you fancy a giggle) has become overrun with foamies. i blame the tw@t who gave it a ***** rating when it really deserves */2 at most. now crowds are, well, i mean i am a crowd to everyone else if you know what i mean; but i honestly dont see an answer in making it easier for people to become "one of the crowd". surfing is the hardest physical thing i have done, and therein lies the reward. take away the exploring aspect of it, and something important des a sad death.
