People flooded in by
the masses at today's final attempt to save
trestles...enthusiastic surfers, know it all
environmentalists, concerned Californians, prepared
politicians, local heroes, heaps of men, gangs of
women, shirtless grommets with body
paint, toddlers with political messages, and
even dogs with signs came to fight the good
fight. Trestles is one of the most coveted
breaks in California, the US, and even the world; and
it is at risk! The wave is very important to
our surf economy in Southern California. Not only is
Trestles host to one of only twelve World
Championship Tour contest stops and a breeding ground
for some of the best surfing talent to come out of
the US, it is an epicenter for our surf culture and
holds a sacred place in surf history. Surfing aside,
Trestles and the surrounding wilderness are home to
many species of flora and fauna that will surely feel
the impact of construction for the proposed
toll road. Many pristine natural environments
are at risk, including many surf breaks (Harry's in
Baja is all ready gone) and year after year plants
are being covered by pavement. This is not just about
trestles, it is about the larger picture. Think
about it.
