Bobby Martinez
We write so often about our local hero Bobby Martinez that some members of the real press think we might have his contact info. We don't, but we'd like it for a story someday.

Trestles Update
Surfers are gearing up for one big meeting down in SoCal this Wednesday, February 6th. Here is the scoop:
The time to Save Trestles is now!!
On Wednesday, February 6, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) will hear the application for the Foothill-South toll road that will run through San Onofre State Park. This project threatens precious coastal open space, water quality and the surf break at Trestles, and it would set a dangerous precedent for YOUR State Park system. Join hundreds (if not thousands) of Surfrider Foundation activists and other opponents of the toll road for a rally at the CCC hearing. Come help us send a clear message that our State Parks and open spaces deserve saving!
This is literally THE most important hearing in regards to protecting Trestles and San Onofre State Park. We need an enormous crowd to attend. Please help spread the word to all your family and friends in Southern California.
The Surfrider Foundation and partners are renting buses and organizing carpools in San Clemente and San Diego. We are also providing lunch, tee shirts, and posters/sign for all supporters. Surfrider has it all organized—you just need to show up. If you have questions about the hearing, or are interested in organized transportation, email Stefanie Sekich at: SSekich@surfrider.org
What: Crucial Vote to Save Trestles at California Coastal Commission
When: Wednesday, February 6, 2008. Please arrive by 9am.
Where: Del Mar Fairgrounds—at Wyland. Hall 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd. Del Mar, CA 92014 - Just off the I-5 in Del Mar at Via de la Valle exit.
