I noticed the white paint on the cliffs at Nth Curl Curl the other week. I remember seeing this sentiment expressed at Avoca Beach. The Curl Curl one is very like the sign at Scarborough Wombarra except that there the word "G A Y" has been added by someone who has a sense of humour.
While I understand what causes people to write these signs, I cannot think of anything worse than only surfing one beach and staying away from all the others.
The problem is over crowding. Instead of everyone poking each others eyes out and making the world blind, the solution is to groom the surf that is there to make more room for more riders.
Councils have no trouble justifying putting a rake through the dry sand. Why doesn't someone look at ways of moving the sand underwater to make better breaks for the surfers?

Its not overcrowding its idiots that don't know how a lineup works and people who think thier gods gift paddling up the inside so they can get busy trimming past everyone flapping thier arms and trying not to fall off....a good surf with 20-30 other people can quickly degenerat into a ****fight once you add one of the above

Yes their is always one in a crowd, I was surfing down @ Cott main about 6 weeks ago & had the best experience with crowds, only 10 people of different ability but good vibe no agro untill sum groms came out and madly went for any wave that looked rideable, I went in after that but before they came it was great. Ignorant mal riders (not all the same) are the worst as they have ultimate paddle power..
