World Heritage Surf.

Some places deserve to be spared either man's rapacious nature or his thoughtless exhaust, the tailings of our daily life. While it may be more romantic to save far away places, we should be working closer to home. I can't imagine this place without this wave. All because of nitrogen run off from neatly mowed grass. Acres of a water sucking foreign mono culture leaching extra chemicals through ancient lava. A reef has to die so that people can pluck a ball out of a metal cup.......?

Think of all the trails you have walked to get to some out of the way spot, many are used by few others. Surfers are sometimes the lone eyes in little corners of the coast, the first to be aware of intrusions.

Whenever I walk down to Spot Feral, I make it a point to catch up with the arse wipes you take short cuts between the switch backs. They ain't beating me down while reaping havoc on the old growth just to ride some waves...
