^^+1. I went there a few years ago. Had to park absolutely miles away.(Paid for parking). Stop trying to make money off spectators, you get your dollars through the internet. Anyone who has surfed margs knows its not the best place to watch as the break is a long way out. I went to a pipe contest. now that was cool, Heavy barrels with the surfers right there. If you pay for parking get a shuttle bus to the site included.
Im not against the Marg river pro happening, both kitesurfers and surfers have to go to the best breaks in the world now thats what the world audience wants to see. I wasnt against the KSP world tour, and a lot of people were.... The alternative was the PKRA surfing section held in joke conditions, just like the ASP did in their day, holding events in beach breaks in the 80's, it FAILED.
In a perfect world, the best surfers in the world could combine watersports in the event. Laydays, could be SUP when the surf is smaller, kitesurfing strapped when blown out onshore junk or full gnarly conditions, or strapless if small and windy. wont be going, but Ill watch it on the TV, net as most people will do around the world
