I consider myself a younger member on this forum. Ive learned a ton from this site over the years. There is definitley a lack of younger guys on here. also it seems over the last ten years alot of the die hard surf guys smartened up and bought boats!!
Going back about 8 years or so there was a ton of surf talk. Gear, tactics, reports ect. I only surf fish a couple times a year now, since buying a boat. theres a big presence of the boat crowd on facebook. Back when there was a large surf crowd there was a sense of community about fishing for 2 nights straight while sleeping in your car while the tide turned, cause you know other guys were doing the same thing. I used to spend a ton of time hanging out at the local tackle shop as well. I rarely do that anymore either.
