Rincon Classic Postponed

Thursday, February 16, 2006

Reports

The 12th of February brought a fun Sunday swell, and the 13th of February was a dawn patrol at the same spot. The Valentine's Day Session had similar size yet more mess.

Rincon Classic Postponed

The 2006 Rincon Classic has been postponed for a second time until the next waiting weekend of Saturday and Sunday March 11 & 12. Once again the official surf report from our sources is calling for poor surf in the waist to possibly chest high range with high winds and low interval periods prevailing. This forecast alongside the predictions of a strong possibility for rain made the decision an easy one.

IV Parking Plan

The Daily Nexus had an update about the IV Parking Plan and the Surfrider Foundation gives us Brooks Firestone's email: bfirestone@co.santa-barbara.ca

Beach Access

The CCC has a public questionnaire about access to a few beaches in Santa Barbara County that you can fill out and send in. There is a chance that the public has used some of these routes long enough that they can permanently become available, without fear of trespass. This is a sensitive issue, as it pits property rights vs. beach access. We here at SBS are by no means endorsing the government seizure of property rights, and neither are we endorsing landowners harassment of beachgoers. Hopefully something can be arranged that protects the landowner's rights and yet allows beachgoers a legal way to visit the beach. You can read about it and fill out the forms for the two beaches in question are at this CCC page.
