I just cancelled my membership to Surfline. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Its sad to think that I might not be able to share the pacific with my son the way my father did with me.

I hope with Californias impending bankruptcy this is put on hold, and eventualy re-worked. There will be a large cost associated with this, something that the state cant afford at the moment.

If Garth helps end fishing in La Jolla.
I will campaign to put the toll road through
his cherished Trestles surf break. That many
surfers peeing in the water all day long,
365 days a year has to be bad for the eco
system, and its in a protected state park.
Go to the greedy surfline.com and post a reply.
By the way surfline makes your surf break more
crowded. Never give them your money.

I agree. DONT give money to surfline or surfrider. I too will vote for the tollroad if they back closing the fishing grounds.

I stopped giving $ to Surfrider long ago...talk about an organization that tends to go awry.

I'm pretty positive that less than 50% of the population would go for the initiative if they were informed...it's a sad thing to watch the misconceptions get perpetuated by an article like this. Some that dude's answers are pretty hilarious actually, the anglers sure are destroying your surf spots (?????) and kelp beds (????????????) and cobblestone reefs (????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??)...and on and on. Stick to coastal pollution and development dumbass, a hook & line aren't doing any more damage to your reef than your empty head bouncing off of it does.

I guess you throw out a soapbox and everyone's an expert. Kinda like the message boards!

I can't beleive a surf organization would actually show that. The fact is that surfer's are going to lose some of their surfing areas too, as i have herd that they want to close certain beaches from all human contact. These enviromentalist need to focus their efferts to find better ways to commercially harvest fish, Stopping illigal havesting from places like japan and stop pollution as these would actually help the ocean. Recreational anglers premote better fisheries with programs that benifit the fisheries. If anybody knows a place to send a letter too i would have a lot to say.
