I think OTW recognized that as a bigger advantage and that was probably the reason it was dropped to 1.2 this year.

I think that right now, since the tournament is relatively new they are a slave to the numbers. They are going to adjust after every season to try and make everybody happy (which we know will never happen). I'm sure in a couple of years when the surf caught are given 1.1 ratio and then the boat guys win by 100 points (probably because they just happened to have a great year, and nothing more) they will be dealing with a whole new set of issues to address with adjusting the ratio.

The only fair way to do it is split'em up Surf guys and Boat Guys...but that is a whole new can of worms
