Now Cortes Bank...thats a diff story.

important part of this is the ban on personal water craft in the marine sanctuary. Absurd. Puts people at risk surfing there. The environmental lobby here just doesn't care. If they dont care about human life as in this instance, imagine how little they care about recreational fishing.

I agree, i mean how much damage could a couple of PWC's do to the ecosystem there?? Hell the wave only really breaks to where its worth surfing a small portion of days out of the year. If nothing else, at least allow them to be present days in which big wave surfing events are going on. Makes you wonder if the guy who picked up this kid from the recent incident at Mavericks is going to be in trouble for having that PWC in there and saving that guys life.
