localized???!!! no way. sure it gets really crowded and competitive (yes, somebody might drop in on you) but that's not same as "locals" who smash your car window, or maybe smash your face. Very mild localism here. No problem at all when the lineup is light crowd. But this is rare, for any famous point break like Rincon and Malibu.
