PLAN Hermosa Public Review Draft December 2015 1 city of hermosa beach PLAN Hermosa Public Review Draft December 2015 [no notes on this page] - 1 - 2 [no notes on this page] - 2 - 3 hello. PLAN Hermosa presents our vision for Hermosa Beach over the next 25 years. This Plan is the culmination of a multi-year community-wide effort to reflect and define who we want to be as a community. We seek to retain our reputation as the “Best Little Beach City” while simultaneously enhancing our local economy and making strides to improve the health of our environment and our residents. PLAN Hermosa articulates the community vision through the integration of two important planning documents for the City of Hermosa Beach: the General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Organized around a framework for sustainability, each section of this Plan addresses different aspects of our community and identifies measurable actions to guide residents, decision-makers, businesses, and City staff toward achieving our vision. PLAN Hermosa establishes goals that will help us achieve our long term vision as a community that values our small beach town character, vibrant economy, and healthy environment and lifestyles. This is our plan for our future. We take great pride in this document, and we are committed to achieving our collective community vision.

  • The Tragicomedy of the Surfers'commons
    THE TRAGICOMEDY OF THE SURFERS ’ COMMONS DANIEL NAZER * I INTRODUCTION Ideally, the introduction to this article would contain two photos. One would be a photo of Lunada Bay. Lunada Bay is a rocky, horseshoe-shaped bay below a green park in the Palos Verdes neighbourhood of Los Angeles. It is a spectacular surf break, offering long and powerful rides. The other photograph would be of horrific injuries sustained by Nat Young, a former world surfing champion. Nat Young was severely beaten after a dispute that began as an argument over who had priority on a wave. These two images would help a non-surfer understand the stakes involved when surfers compete for waves. The waves themselves are an extraordinary resource lying at the centre of many surfers’ lives. The high value many surfers place on surfing means that competition for crowded waves can evoke strong emo- tions. At its worst, this competition can escalate to serious assaults such as that suffered by Nat Young. Surfing is no longer the idiosyncratic pursuit of a small counterculture. In fact, the popularity of surfing has exploded to the point where it is not only within the main- stream, it is big business. 1 And while the number of surfers continues to increase, * Law Clerk for Chief Judge William K.

  • Surfing, Gender and Politics: Identity and Society in the History of South African Surfing Culture in the Twentieth-Century
    Surfing, gender and politics: Identity and society in the history of South African surfing culture in the twentieth-century. by Glen Thompson Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Albert M. Grundlingh Co-supervisor: Prof. Sandra S. Swart Marc 2015 0 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 8 October 2014 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is a socio-cultural history of the sport of surfing from 1959 to the 2000s in South Africa. It critically engages with the “South African Surfing History Archive”, collected in the course of research, by focusing on two inter-related themes in contributing to a critical sports historiography in southern Africa. The first is how surfing in South Africa has come to be considered a white, male sport. The second is whether surfing is political. In addressing these topics the study considers the double whiteness of the Californian influences that shaped local surfing culture at “whites only” beaches during apartheid. The racialised nature of the sport can be found in the emergence of an amateur national surfing association in the mid-1960s and consolidated during the professionalisation of the sport in the mid-1970s.

  • Surf Break Co-Management: Options for the Protection and Enhancement of Surf Breaks in New Zealand
    Surf Break Co-Management: Options for the protection and enhancement of surf breaks in New Zealand Aaron Mark Edwards A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Master of Planning. University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. 1st November 2012 Abstract The inclusion of surf breaks in the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (2010) establishes New Zealand as a potential world leader in surf break protection. The approach is highly dependent upon local authorities being required to give effect to these new policy directives. Providing for these policies requires a multi-faceted approach that includes surf break identification, mapping, monitoring, policy provision, integrated management approaches and evaluation. This presents significant challenges, especially given that most local authorities lack specific surfing expertise. Surf break users have extensive knowledge of local surf breaks and an inherent interest in the preservation of surfing resources, representing a potential aid to local authorities in providing for surf breaks. Surf break policy implementation arguably serves to benefit from the involvement of surf break users in management responses and decision-making processes. This thesis involved a case study of the Auckland and Otago regions to explore surf break user values, the purpose of surf break management and the suitability of surf break co- management within New Zealand’s resource management framework. The study involved an online survey of surf break users and interviews with key stakeholders in the management of surf breaks. A key theme that emerged throughout the research was the desire for surf break management to reflect the needs and vision of local surfing communities.

Kamchatka lies on the southern tip of Siberia, above Japan. If that’s not an interesting story then I don’t know what is. Similarly, Mike Doleman (aka Mike Dee) has just as a unique background. He is a third generation Australian merchant seafarer. So it’s surprising that they’re both incredibly talented snowboarders. 52 Simon Lyddiard & 54 Jamie Hawley Simon Lyddiard says that outside of skating, he’s a pretty boring guy. Sure, he likes to box, but that’s about it. Well that’s all well and good if you ignore the fact that’s he’s an amazing skateboarder. If he’s boring then I must be a billion playboy because we’re living in opposite land. And if you’re looking for someone to protect that opposite land then don’t count on Jamie Hawley.

  • Peace, Love, Surf: Growing up in the 60’S (California Style)
    Peace, Love, Surf: Growing Up In The 60’s (California Style) Peace, Love, Surf: Growing Up In The Sixties (California Style) Last update: February 18, 2017 Prologue It is my totally unbiased opinion that I grew up in what must be considered one of the most controversial and exciting times in the twentieth century, especially that narrow band of time during the sixties to mid-seventies. There were a lot of things going on like the Watts riots, the Cold War, the so called lunar landings, The Assassinations JFK, RFK, Martin , the Viet Nam war, People’s Park in Berkeley, the Monterey Pop Festival, the Kent State killings, Chicago Democratic Convention, Woodstock, SLA, Watergate, The Beach Boys, the Beatles, The Doors, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the best music ever to be recorded, and, subsequently, the loss of J cubed (Jimi, Jim and Janis), late night sitcoms with Johnny, SLN, high school, college, presidential resignations and pardons, and more. It was like a pre-cyberspace overload era. Hence, given all that I went through during this short time on planet Earth, I felt the title of these short stories covers the appropriate time spectrum. There was a saying for the Viet Nam war that went around in this era called, “Peace, Love, Dove”. I took it and made a Page 1 of 34 Peace, Love, Surf: Growing Up In The 60’s (California Style) slight modification to reflect what it was like to grow up when surfing was taking off as a California craze; pray for Peace, free Love, let’s Surf.
