Frustrated with the Black Balling of Venice, a Local Surfer Voices His Opinion
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
I thought it my duty to at least try and express my displeasure with the recent "BLACK BALLING" of VENICE BREAKWATER to SURFERS at or around noon each day. I hope that I'm not alone, in my complaint, nor off base to voice concern.
It's absolutely MIND BOGGLING and borderline CRAZY to impose a black ball at one of the few surfing breaks in SOUTH LA for no apparent reason... especially a surf spot and location that has historically been linked with board riding and has REAPED ENORMOUS ECONOMIC GAIN from the tourism and development associated with surfing.
During a brief conversation with a lifeguard I was informed that the black ball was to allow more recreational swimming in the area. (A NOTE : The lifeguard also expressed bewilderment at the decision even going as far to say that it was A DANGEROUS PROPOSITION as the RIP TIDE REGGIE is a perilous and sometimes fatal hazard to the average swimmer - at this spot.) After monitoring VENICE BREAKWATER during the black ball on SURFLINE CAMERAS...I have noticed that the area in question is not very utilized by swimmers and lies dormant and inactive.
I implore the powers that be to reconsider this regulation as I feel it to be unnecessary and (in the long run) harmful to Venice Beach and the city of Venice, CA.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
David Gott

90's BBQ Cardboard dance floor Break Off!
Do you like Nelson Mandela? Doesn't matter, it happened in the 90's though, and that's the theme of this rager! You are highly encouraged to rock reeboks, nirvana t-shirts and do heroin, because all of these things were/are still cool in the 90's. Large time pieces and gold chains are also in style. You wore it, wear it again with pride.
We'll be grilling hamburgs and hotdogs, some veggies and having drinks, a smash hit in '95!
In 1992 we watched Hurricane Andrew devastate Florida. This Saturday at 6:00pm we can watch similar destruction with our own Andrew at 3516 Maplewood Ave.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
