Is the localism that bad? - I'm an Irish surfer that wants to visit the US Virgin Islands next year. I'd love to camp out, meet the locals, have a few beers and catch a few waves. I'll be doing a world trip with my girlfriend and I thought it would be a great place to go. However...from what this forum says I have my doubts

Movin' on - Hey, I'm a statesider trying to move down island. The USVI are real inviting. I want nothing more than to surf and dive, any advice, how much do I need to save to get my feet on the ground down there?

Get yourself to BVI - I must say the US Virgin Islands sound thoroughly unpleasent in terms of violence , localism etc . Sounds like the USA has had a similar effect there they have had in Iraq !
Get yourself over to Tortola , in winter it has great waves and is usually friendly

to William Douglas - You're the ignorant fuck, and it's called VIrgin Islands Creole English, and it's mixed with West African, which is why you can't understand it.

The locals there SUCK!! - I was visiting St Thomas on a cruise in september and checked out some waves on the northside. A guy from the states said I should check out Carret Bay. So I took a cab over and when i got there, some local guy said that I shouldn't paddle out bc I would get my ass kicked..The wave was about 4-5 ft and going off, I can see why they're tough, but i wasn't going to violate the rules of surfing.. before I even paddled out three guys started yelling at me ( I dont know what the fuck they were saying, not too bright I guess, bcause it sounded like english?)It ended in a yelling/ shoving match, in which my board took a ding and I left without getting wet, and spending 30$ to get there..Thats ridiculous that here is a US TERRITORY or so they claim, yet this goes on.. I talked to a police officer and he said to let it go, that I was lucky I didnt get worse..All I can say is WOW!@ I hope some of those ignorant fucks I saw out there make it to the Lane or Stockton Ave.. I'm sure there are great people there as well but the guys at carret give that place a bad name... I think massive pics and surfer mag publicity will do them good!! But dnt worry guys, you can still vote in the VI's

Not Hull Bay! - Sorry to disappoint you but photo three is NOT Hull Bay, It's actually Botany Bay,Same Island though, and also pic four isn't Hull Bay either, It's somewhere in Indonesia, from that angle if it were Hull Bay you would be able to see the rocks on the point, so please put them in their proper place.YES I!
