You know what would preserve Swami's for four days...having only four people every 20 min. out in the water than 50-100 ego driven surfers stomping, pissing, snaking on the reef every day.

You can however buy a swami's club pass(LOCALS ONLY) that gives you unlimited power to stomping, pissing, bitching, snaking your bro on the reef every day.

If you need someone to hate or something to do hate ASP for getting rid of all grass roots surfing all together. Plus hate Roxy by trying to take control so they can market themselves other than giving non-roxy sponsored girls an opportunity to compete in the WWLC.

WWLC is willing to contribute to benefit the Swami's habitat. What are you doing other than trying to snake everyones waves? How will you improve Swami's situation.

You can always get rid of the swami's staircase all together and with the wood, build some ole boards you can sell.

Hello friends,
I'd like to respond to an anonymous post regarding "Legal consideration...(to the) Self-Realization Fellowship who owns in title the property in front of Swami's to the mean high tide line."

Thought you might be interested to know that I called the SRF to see if they would like to weigh in for my story that was published Sunday. Officials at the SRF said they won't be taking a position on whether to allow the contest proposal.

Hope that information is helpful!

One important fact that's missing, and one no one has considered is that the City of Encinitas is not the only player here.

Legal consideration, maybe from the City and promoters, must be given to Self Realization Fellowship who owns in title the property in front of Swami's to the mean high tide line. Have a look at the City arials/maps if you doubt. Maybe a "Hold Harmless agreement", others know what might be necessary. When I read earlier comments about folks on the bluffs, etc., I know they would be interested.

Just an observation.

Good point; part of surfing is knowing how to manage the pack on the peak,(unfortunately).

Dealing with a crowd could be assigned points. Deducts for snaking.

2009-11-10T06:51:45.084-08:00

let them have a contest BUT don't make the waves exclusive during the contest. Let them compete with all the other surfers at Swamis. Why should any group get exclusive use of a public beach?

watch all the kooks at the Council. Next kook up in December..... the kook master Dan Dalager.

If he cared about Encinitas, he would let the true Mayor, Fred Caldwell take the chair. Sit down Dan and let Fred do some good.

I want to rent Swamis for myself and three friends (kooks only) for 300 dollars a day. What a deal!
No one else out, cops and lifeguards to enforce it. Isn't life great.

2009-11-09T19:57:33.514-08:00

When there's tension in the water at Swamis, it's because half the people surfing there are still at or barely past kook stage. Their indecision and lack of skills put everyone in danger, even people just paddling out. That's not localism.

2009-11-09T19:53:21.457-08:00

Anon 7:41 -- So true. The localism at Swamis is a total myth. A few guys get vocal every once in a while but it's usually between people who know each other and consists of complaining and grumbling. 99.99% of the time it's super mellow and everybody gets waves harmoniously.

2009-11-09T19:41:04.391-08:00

There is a lot of talk about localism at Swamis. The reality is there is NO localism as Swamis. It is an urban myth. The reason the lineup is so chaotic is because there are no locals to enforce the rules of etiquette. If locals are so evil then why are Linda and Cori using the fact that they are locals as a selling point? It doesn't make any sense. There hasn't been any real localism since the 1960s when Linda Benson herself was part of the gang that controlled the lineup and chased away visitors. This contest is just a new way of kicking people out of the surf for the exclusive use of her circle of competitor friends.

2009-11-09T19:21:27.568-08:00

Poor ole Dan, he is trying to be assertive and commander-like, seeing as he is the mayor-in-waiting and has been given the high sign to start acting mayorial. He seems to forget he has to get re-elected first. He will not tolerate small tribes and will vote against you every time. If your tribe happens to hold the same opinion as he does, well, then you are not small, you are the "public."

2009-11-09T18:44:55.464-08:00

Dan Dalager said we should not oppose something without all the facts. You would think that a Swamis Surfing Association meeting would be a good place to address the facts about a contest at Swamis.

Dan, we are waiting with baited breath for your facts.
