Please end the ignorance
For those of you who don't feel the LNG terminal at the spot formerly known as Harry's doesn't affect you, take a look at the coastline as you drive north from Ensenada and tell me that the view and coast hasn't changed for the worse? Now imagine that same scene playing out in your own backyard. Not that pretty. More LNG are planned up and down the coastlines of USA and Mexico so wake up and smell the coffee. Next time, it could be your spot or beach that is being threatened. In regards to those of you that felt we were selfish in our keeping the spot secret, SEMPRA had plans to develop this coastline long before any of us took of on our first wave there. We did not know about the development until their ball had been rolling for over 10 years. By that time, the momentum, power and money dedicated to making this LNG plant a reality for SEMPRA / Shell was too much to overcome. It is difficult to fight the amount of corruption, political strength and legal expertise they had on their side. Had we known about their plans 20 years ago, maybe we could have done something, maybe not. The lesson is be proactive as soon as you can be and we were. Unfortunately, it was too little too late but had nothing to do with our selfishishness of keeping the wave for our own enjoyment only. Thanks for listening and thanks to all those who fought the good fight.

Who's the real *Greedy Bastards*
The folks who were so determined to keep this spot secret for long, and not share it with ths surfing world (talk about greed) start whining and pleading to the surfing community to save their spot in the 11th hour. Too late, greedy bastards - nobody cares because you didn't let anybody else share enough to care. Look in themirror and you'll have your answer of why your spot dissappeared. One more thing - did you walk or ride your bike to this spot? If neither, then don't lay the corporate oil refinery greed line on me, because you need that oil to drive to your little secret spot now destroyed. You are the machine, dumb-ass, so accept the consequences...
