I think anyone that makes a profit or gets "paid" to surf has a lot more to answer for than forums. Why? Because they will take photos, video, twitter and Facebook it to the masses. The wct is the worst as now it has the greatest media coverage and biggest circus following it. You only need to look at the rubbish and collapsed sand dunes left at Portugal and to see what can be left behind.
One thing is for sure the crowds get worse every year
Portugal was a search event before it became a regular spot and they wanted it back because it was so popular. At the end of the day its up to the places that hold these events to make sure the enviroment is looked after, they want the events so its their resposibility imo.
Crowds are going to get worse as the population grows and we cant stop that.
MR mains can handle it as its had many comps there and will continue to do so.
At the end of the day most of us know most of the spot down south and up north but if you know a "secret spot" keep it to yourself and dont tell anybody, that way if you get hit by a shark you will surly die because the spot where you are is a secret. Take the risk.
