There’s a story in the Santa Cruz Sentinel about veteran local surfers banding together to prevent surf schools from holding group surfing lessons at Pleasure Point.  The surfers  claim that the surf schools are over crowding the surf spot, creating a safety hazard for all who frequent the spot.  The surfers and the surf schools are currently in talks to create legislation that regulates the impact of the surf schools on surf spots.

My gut tells me that the overcrowding trend isn’t going to reverse itself anytime soon.  Ultimately we’re going to need more waves.  Luckily, people are already working on making more waves in the ocean and on land.
