that doesn't make it rightHave you seen the permit? Regardless, my response was simply to the question of how it’s possible for private groups (like the WSL, Nssa, wsa etc) to reserve public beaches. It happens weekly up and down the coast.
No, I haven’t. Have you? Post it up.
I’m seeing responses from others that have never seen this before with the WSL. Like unprecedented. NSSA and WSA type events don’t have lay days. They run straight through regardless of the conditions. Poor example.
They were wearing their jerseys in a timed situation, should have just called it an expression session and it likely wouldn't be questioned...that doesn't make it right
of course it did. Wasn't just sprung up as an after thought.The Couch Surfing guy said the WSL permit covered today as well.
I remember this and Kainoa and stuff and hawaii are one thing- that's hawaii - they make some rulesCame here to post this. When it happens in Hawaii everyone cheers.
If someone copped a beating for interrupting a wsl boogie board comp at lowers the Erbb would have a sh!t fit.
To be clear - im questioning the entire concept of private groups reserving public lands for their personal use. But i bet you're right in general.They were wearing their jerseys in a timed situation, should have just called it an expression session and it likely wouldn't be questioned...
It's an Event/Contest and not Personal use. What is so hard to comprehend this as comps are all over.To be clear - im questioning the entire concept of private groups reserving public lands for their personal use. But i bet you're right in general.
so i could have surfed trestles during practice time today and when they run finals day?It's an Event/Contest and not Personal use. What is so hard to comprehend this as comps are all over.
yes, Uppersso i could have surfed trestles during practice time today and when they run finals day?
Event. Set one up and you can do it alsoyes, Uppers
no - it's reserved for only a special group of people, not sure what's so hard to comprehend about that as comps are all over.
This is why I try to avoid discussions on the internet. This guy immediately gets snarky over a valid question, then the entire reason he's acting like that is over semantics. He clearly gets the point.yes, Uppers
Event. Set one up and you can do it also
How can a private group reserve public land? How do they have more right to it than anyone else?
Can I get a group of people together and start reserving spots for a whole day? We can pool our cash together and hire "security" to keep people out. Probably cheaper than slaters wave pool.
wait. what? they were "practicing" in thrir jerseys in timed situations? like rehearsing scripted heats?They were wearing their jerseys in a timed situation, should have just called it an expression session and it likely wouldn't be questioned...

The "event" is personal/private/exclusive to that group, but it's on public space. I'm sure you understand what im saying even though you didn't like the word i used, you even repeated what i said.
Not snarky at all, whatever the word is and YES it can be done on public places like Parks, Beaches, Trails, etc. Its done all the time...This is why I try to avoid discussions on the internet.

rode by them yesterday and they are HUGE. Kids got so much support and pressure.Did you see that poster on the over pass in SC?
it's fun seeing an A haole gets what's coming to him but I grew up with a kid like that. It was amazing - when he was say 8 he would antagonize the older kids until they would hit him. But he wouldn't stop even after being hit a lot. I realized then to stay away from him - it was weird - I think you could have cut his fingers off and he would have kept going. I've thought about that kid a bit and I think there's people like that and you can be sucked in by them if you're not careful.That video always tripped me out. What the hell was going through that kids head???
I mean clearly not a lot, but what the fck
Heard he had some sort of 'condition." Just rumors maybe.it's fun seeing an A haole gets what's coming to him but I grew up with a kid like that.

I understand that it's done, we've all seen that it's done - there's a lot of contests. I'm just questioning whether or not it's "right".On Oahu a private group can reserve a public space for private events by obtaining the required permits. It’s done all the time, not just for surf contests. Movie, television productions shut down major roadways all day for a scene that’s barely ever over a minute long. All in the way of promoting tourism.
Remember Blue Crush or North Shore. They shut down access to Pipe for those movie contests. 100% helped that they used the gnarliest Pipe guys and Hui uncles as minor characters and extras.
Don’t have a clue about the WSL and Trestles but I bet the tourism board is bending over backwards to help WSL promote sunny SoCal.
