PALM BEACH VICTORY!

First Trestles, now this? Surfers are on a run -- barring this whole Cape Hatteras debacle, and parking at S-Turns, and no surfing on Montauk and LBI changing laws...oh shit, maybe we're not on a run. Nonetheless, props to Surfrider, Tom Warnke, Terry Gibson and the rest of the New Localism mofos who took down Palm Beach's efforts to ruin Lake Worth Pier and other spots with a BS dredge-and-fill program. I'll check in soon with some insights from Terry G. In the meantime, you can read the full press release here:

One final thought: this fight took three years and a lot of firsthand personal effort. But they won. Food for thought -- fuel for future fights.
