DTC - Hell NO ! it's kinda of like Black Friday sales after Thanksgiving. Mass Chaos. During the summer, 50 people paddle, 30 actually get on the front of the wave, 10 actually ride ( going straight banging rails the whole time ). That's not even mentioning the people waiting facing you in thigh-high water with the board fins facing you. When your just about on top of them, they spin around and jump onto their board on their bellies
Once I slotted in right on the take off, blew past 3 guys that had to pull back hard. Was told later not to do that cuz it doesn't allow them to enjoy their time at the beach. Of course it's the weekends that are ridiculous. But every foot after 3 feet the crowd thins out by half. At 6 feet it's pretty roomy.
If your the big boss of the area, you'll get your own. ( let's not talk about that right now )
DrowingBB - That's why I recommend soft boards in Shonan. Most of their boards cost $2000-3000. I go right at them and they pull back cuz they don't want a ding.
