localism - nobody in the virgin islands can surf anyways so localism shouldnt exist cause if you suck it makes no difference and agro vibes keep surfers safe in the line up of heavey surf scaring off kooks and keeping quality surfers from getting hurt by idiots crushing sections or not respecting priority so quit bein pussys take off on a bomb get barreled and the locals well be stoked

looking for St Croix local guide - I grew up in Hawaii & Calif and will be visiting my daughter in St Croix in late March. I am 58 yrs old but grew up surfing everyday since I was a tiny kid and know all about localism, protecting your spot,etc. I went through the whole competition thing, mellowed in my twenties then moved away 30 years ago. I live in Minnesota now. I get back to Hawaii occasionally to surf with my friends but my trip to St Croix is to see my daughter and maybe go surf somewhere one day only. I am willing to pay a local guy to take me somewhere mushy and easy to surf. I have no board and may want to just paddle around a lot since I have a blown out knee. I do have a few stories that you may find interesting of the old days in Hawaii. Then again it may just bore you. If interested my wife & I will be staying near Fredricksted at a place called Northside Valley. We will have a car.

Ziggy - I surfed Caret Bay for two days without seeing a single person. The waves were about head high and pretty good form. On the third day of my trip I went to Hull Bay and started talking to a few people about my experience at Caret. Everyone I talked to could not believe I went down there! I talked to about six people their just to make sure they weren't trying to steer me away from that beautiful place, but all of their concern was consistent. A couple of 20+ year residents said their is a group of kids down there that will slash your tires, throw rocks at you etc. I started believing them after the sixth person. Lucky for me I got two fun days their with no one out! Hull was fun as well. The guys in the line-up were fun to surf with. So, to sum it up, the only hostility I experienced was in the stories, not reality.
