I dont condone what happened to VS, I saw him shortly after and we agreed that had there been fish it would have been different...
I dont surf but know some surfers.. and you would be amazed at the similarity.. the secrecy between spots for locals, the problems with access, the concern for the health and cleanliness of the water and shoreline... even the sense of 'spot entitlement'
Hell you think RISAA and similar clubs do alot for the shoreline.. take a look at surfrider..
