]]> Comment on Can the North Shore of Oahu Add More Surfing Beaches to its Shoreline? by Rob Pink http://northshoresurfgirls.com/blog/?p=867&cpage=1#comment-26283 Rob Pink Wed, 31 Aug 2011 19:04:50 +0000 http://northshoresurfgirls.com/blog/?p=867#comment-26283 I couldn't agree more with your position on private seawalls effecting our public beaches and shorelines. My family has lived on the cliff above the Palos Verdes Cove for 50 years. The Cove is a special place known as one of the birthplaces of Southern California surfing. When sitting out in the surfline looking upon the cliffs, you see our few scattered homes lining the cliff, but no seawalls or other man made attempts at slowing or eliminating the natural process of erosion. And yes, nature is at work, our cliff is moving towards the sea, a few homes have been totally destroyed, ours is dying a creeping death lined with gapping cracks and slumping porches. Sure we could have put some sort of retaining whatever up in the days before the coastal commission, but even those eventually fall to wind, rain and gravity. The city says our lot is now unsuitable for building and it's value dropped like a stone over the cliff, but we've had 50 years of living on this place and feel very lucky indeed. In San Diego we have lots of examples of wealthy homes sporting mammoth walls, wanting preservation of self and not giving a damn about our public beaches. These walls and jetties have severly impacted the flow of earth and sand that naturally build and maintain our beaches, now all that's left in many places is a narrow strip of sand walkable only at low tide. Please let nature works it course and save our beaches for all. I couldn’t agree more with your position on private seawalls effecting our public beaches and shorelines.

I'd love to surf in Hawaii coming from the east coast we don't really see the waves unless a hurricane is about to hit us. I think it would also be awesome to see these sea turtles I think this is amazing!

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:49:42 +0000 http://northshoresurfgirls.com/blog/?p=307#comment-991 Hey people of Hawaii!! My name is Nick, I'm 13 years old and I'm from Illinois. I was surfing the web for a school project when I found this website. Honestly, this school looks AWESOME!! Anyway, my school project is participating in something called the "Great American Mail Race." It's where each kid in my class (I'm not really sure who else in my school is doing it also) will send a letter to 4 different schools in 4 different states explaining themselves, such as their hair color, age and stuff like that. But we can only send it to a grade school. So I was wondering if this school (even though it's a surf school) is a school with at least grade 8. Thank you for taking your time to read this and I really hope you respond soon. Thanks again!! :D Hey people of Hawaii!! My name is Nick, I’m 13 years old and I’m from Illinois.
