never had an issue dealing w/ them or any of the staff, but the reports i keep hearing coming out of there make me shy away from going back. i don't have the time or inclination to muck around w/ that nonsense. 10 years ago, sure, i'd try my luck & give it a whirl. those waves were all very fun...though p-land ate a board & a decent-sized chunk of my leg on my first visit. didn't mess w/ that one on my second trip.
