Whose fault will it be? - Keep in mind that the reef is only 3 feet deep and very sharp. Sometimes, the wave sucks dry. Whose fault is it going to be, when the next tourist wants to try surfing and ends up breaking his neck in the middle of nowhere, with no help around?
Summer 2008 alone there were 4 tourist drownings and that was around the Helios Bay area which is in town.

No such thing as secret spots anymore... - People should just give up protecting your "secret" spots. All bullshit anyway. Internet has flattened the information discovery process. It is over, get over it.
