Threatened wave! - This wave is under threat of destruction due to construction of yet another artificial beach for tourists on this already overdeveloped coastline. We need to stop this from happening, as it will not only destroy an amazing place to surf, but also set a dangerous example for other spots in this area which are under threat from development!Please take action to protect this spot! Check out savethewaves.org for more info.
