Where does LazySurfer's surf data for Lahaina Harbor Breakwall come from?

Does LazySurfer predict whether Lahaina Harbor Breakwall is good for me?

Yes. LazySurfer trains a custom deep-learning model — a PyTorch neural network with per-user embeddings, retrained weekly on real logged surf sessions from the LazySurfer community — to predict the 1-to-5 star rating you personally would give, rather than a single average rating for everyone.
