I and they aren't talking about folks practicing to tow-in onto 40' waves - the problem is folks are now towing into small waves and not for practice.

Yeah, I haven't surfed a ton, mainly pre-hotels McKenna on Maui in the 70's and few goes at Bondi in the 80's. I'm well aware of the crowding and violence in the lineups - that was the case at McKenna in '78 - nothing new about that. I'm guessing offhand you'd be towing in at Maverick's if you showed up - why would surfing be any different?
