To all my amigos who have helped me along this enchanted path,

Chile has been a wonderful experience thus far. Cold, colorful and littered with amazing left hand point breaks. Rasta's mission to form solidarity between surfers and the protection of whales and dolphins has been received with open arms from the Chilean community at large. We have been involved in amazing art projects, public gatherings, events, music and some great surf sessions. Parko was a last minute addition to the team and is an absolute classic character and unreal surfista.

Ramon Navarro has been our local guide and we all believe that he is quite possibly one of the best and craziest big wave surfers ever...

Besides that, big thanks for supporting me on my path and allowing me to be involved with unreal missions like this one; giving back has never felt so rewarding.

I'll be back on the 25th.

Many blessings, Chris 111

The fight to save Trestles is still in full force and there is new and updated information. As a heads up, Surfrider is rallying the troops for the TCA’s appeal of the Coastal Commission decision to be held July 24th and/or July 25th. Please see the important email from Surfrider below for more information.

Mark Your Calendars!

The Department of Commerce announced today the hearing for the TCA's appeal of the Coastal Commission decision will be held July 24th and/or 25th. As always, it takes some time for government agencies to nail down the exact date, but at least we know it will be July 24th and/or 25th. The hearing will more than likely be at the Bren Event Center of the University of California, Irvine.

We'll get more details as they come in, including the exact date, meeting format, agenda, etc... so stay tuned!

Also, we'll be renting buses again (more than likely leaving from LA and San Diego). So if you are interested in riding the bus, please send an email to: savetrestles@surfrider.org with the subject line: buses to hearing.

WE NEED YOU AT THIS HEARING! Please make sure our Federal Government upholds California laws and decisions.

Remember, in February 2008 the California Coastal Commission voted to deny the toll road through San Onofre State Beach. Following a 14 hour hearing, attended by thousands, the Commission listened to reason and law by rejecting the toll road application.

The people in D.C. need to hear from people who care about San Onofre and Trestles! Your voice is needed!

Don't let the TCA's lobbyists be the only influence on this important decision! (remember a few weeks ago when we told you the TCA is spending nearly $50,000 a month on lobbying...?).

We must counter their money with our voices!

Cover: A long way from Warrington: Dan ‘Mole’ Jole is probably glad he can now spend his time selling shoes for éS and emerica, instead of worrying about keeping his breakfast down in the pit at Aileens, Western Ireland. Photographer Mickey Smith, meanwhile, was happy enough to get the shot and head to the bar for a drop or three of some more traditional Irish hospitality.
