It’s coming !!!
And sooner than you think…the works are in the state congress right now…unfortunately they used this/my article I wrote …here sometime ago …as a rough draft.
I have some great avenues to local govt…and was tipped off about this incident a few days ago.
Surfing will no longer be,“Free and Easy”.
holy war?
the state over goose stepping its sense of control?
Resistance movement any one?
Civil disobedience for groups of 300,ooo or more?
UNREST?
Surfing litigators vs nonsurfing legislators?
lifesaving boycott?..no more free rescues or counseling?
granted,an unruly bunch…but this the last fronteir of freedom
will impact state tourism,road rage and sex in the workplace.
must there be a call? A call to indite all legislators
for any and all infractions of any form
derived from 24 hour surveilance by the surfing resistance?
Power to regulate is granted by those being regulated
submit and die…Dont tread on me.
Handmade one off surfboards will be illegal.
the old days are right now.
…ambrose…
darkness at the break of noon
Supposedly something like 1 out of every 75 people in the State of California surf once in a while - that’s figured off the conservative number of roughly 500,000 surfers in California and a population of 37 million known residents. Regressive taxation and regulation won’t be tolerated and any legislation such as this will probably not get out of committee…unless of course it offers something the little people would be willing to sell their souls for…and never in my lifetime have there been so many so well-eudcated in the ways of Selling Out.
That said, I’m nothing if not willing to joust at windmills both real and imagined. Herb - if your information is halfway credible, please pm me with some specifics (the more of the old and now defunct “5 W’s” the better). Better to poke around now before the elections. I will be discreet and protect any sources you have.
Nels
if thats true… move to mexico just don’t drink the water
take my quad and die
haha your joking right?
is this just for CA?
Herb:
Posts like yours are usually reserved for April 1. Definitely thought provoking; it contained aspects of a mid-1970’s “Surfer” mag fiction piece in which “locals with M-16s are checking ID cards on the beach…”
Also: Please to work on your punctuation/spelling in future communiqués.

NO ! And if you don’t like it… that’s tough shit…LOL !!!
Nels,
I’ll talk to the mole and get his permission first.
…There won’t be a public vote on it…just like driving and flying…
…it will be a ,“Privilage to Surf” law(s)…
…Not a right(s).
Where do you sign up to be an enforcer? I’ll herd all those lawbreakers at Rincon to the beach with my enforcement pwc and enjoy the rest of the day “enforcing” on a nice 7’2"…
Herb,
You’re passionate - enlightened - talented…
You speak the truth…
You help others…
Your spelling and punctuation suck…
Who gives a crap about that…
Your point(s) are always well taken…
Me thinks “yonski” is jealous…or an english teacher…or both…
Thank you for getting your point(s) across…

Tom Curren was the first to surf a break up in Russia, but unfortunately the politburo / commisar that accompanied him gets to name the break.
The way I write…it is expressive…and…it’s about suppression and freedoms
…I’m just a product of my enviroment.
Pete,
I thinks yonski is a counter-mole…lately,things in my life have been under a looking glass…

well, i didn’t read all of it, just scanned it, but from what i saw it should be law for fuckin surf schools.regulate the bastards out of business…
“No Officer, this isn’t a surf board. It is a Burf Soard. How would I know? I built it myself”
whuz-yu yonsky
I spell poorly too,unt my trans lingual
attempts are just deplorable.
Singling out dear ol’ herbie is unfair and
just plain,whats a word…?
now I sug-jest
what could be best
to stem the tide of lithargy
to contemplate the future of us all
as I go back
to dream of vern and little Margie.
as to the fear
shoved to the rear
who said it I don know
when you think they’re
all out to get you
it dosent mean they’re not.
somebody taste this gravy.
or perhaps this apple from the old lady

teechin is fine
but just like fine wine
it must be savored a glass at a time
squirin’ a small herd
just to hear your
golden word
belch forth
with eriuditeness
is just another way
that some choose to express
their flawed black and whiteness.
the anal ports that choose to proport
massive schools of surf
owned and managed in absentia
are the ones whoo
have sullied the venue
for cottage industry esquellitas
be that as it may
there will come a day
when 500,000 out of many million
is not enough
to stop the tide of regulation
when it becomes
more obvious to the
powers that be
that the funds being raised
are not paltry,
The long legislative arm
will slowly unfold
and reach for part of the action
they have grand plans
and without the funds
their dreams and campagains
just cant get traction.
that were all doomed
is forgone and yes it’s true
the flower has bloomed
ah ? ya gonna do?
the petals will fall
collect on the ground
compost in autum
terra wil l… be firma
take a deep breath
go under this wave

there is another waiting

Quite frankly 500,000 sheep are probably enough to require regulation themselves, just so they can sport the nifty totalitarian validation stickers on their cars, showing how core they are. We ought to make our own and sell them on Swaybay.
Methinks this might be little more than “floating an idea”, getting it out there to see if anybody gets cranked up. The whole notion is outrageous and highly suspect…which doesn’t mean some moron isn’t out there trying to make it happen.
I’m a fairly sarcastic and cynical person, but I absolutely believe that something like this can be, if truly needed, fought and beaten by a very small number of people, especially if done early. I suspect one person could put it to rest in about two weeks. Where I would really start worrying is if SIMA or Surfrider came on board supporting some bizzarre proposal. They may say “smells like teen spirit” but what they would be smelling is potential money and power.

California…I recently was involved with a political survery and one of the questions had to do with population. I had thought we were running at 33-35 million plus 4-5 million undocumented. Turns out government plans on the notion that we are at 37 million at last census with anywhere from 4-10 million undocumented. Seems hard to believe. Forecast is for 45-47 million by 2011. The California economy ranks somewhere around 5th…in the world, if it were a country!
In this huge important state, Sacramento is the capitol. And all news coming out is covered by stringers. No major news organization has a staffed bureau (office). The citizens dumped a deadwood governor and put in Arnold, who has struggled. Now he’s up for re-election and the guy he’s running against is hated by his own party, handing the election to the Terminator. You couldn’t make this stuff up if you were crazy on acid.
They’ll get my board when they pry it from cold dead fingers.

Ah surf schools. There’s a pack of sheep at the con that follow the leader now that they can get dumped off by the suburban load and hop every corner that’s there. There parents just drop them at the carpark cell phone and blackberry in hands. They are like fleas on a dog.
Thank Yous 'brose,
I couldn’t hab put it down in scrips betta myself.
