A Decent Spot

I get why people say the world is getting smaller. It is, so to speak. Us humans are coming up with some impressive junk. Just yesterday, via the web, I chatted to three friends in the UK, another three in the States and one in Lorraine (at almost 10 bucks a liter for petrol, anywhere further than Walmer is foreign territory to me).

On days like this— when the wind is onshore, there’s no swell and it’s raining, take a break from facebook and check out www.thesurfersvillage.com (if you MUST be in front of a computer). Thesurfersvillage.com covers everything from product development to global swell charts, spot reviews and current ecological affairs. They ran an interesting piece yesterday about the Green peace workers who dumped a load of tuna heads in front of the agriculture ministry building in Paris, in protest of the reckless tuna fishing industry- (http://www.surfersvillage.com/surfing/37640/news.htm).



It’s day 8 and there’s still no Reef Pro action going down in Hawaii. Apparently there’s a chunk of swell heading that way today, so event organizers are sure they’ll wrap it up by the weekend.
