So much for the free ride we've been enjoying for so long: http://business.transworld.net/20742/news/state-begins-charging-for-trestles-parking/
Where I park is still free. I'm sure there are closer spots, but I don't mind a little strole. You gotta walk a damn mile anyway. As long as they don't turn trestles into a highway I am fine with that. Make the touristas pay a fee. Or take a walk like the rest of us. Thats why most kids ride by you on a bike or a skate baord with their boards under their arms. We are all cruising from wherever the hell in BF egypt we parked.
Matt Johnson may you please block zach619? He is making me very jealous with his cali talk and i dont appriciate it
You walk? Screw that...did that too many times.....Now I skate.....Just sucks walking back up. Anyway, I can't believe they are gonna start to charge...$15 bucks HOLY COW. I assume you can still park alone the road though and up the hill. My legs always start to burn when I take that trip. Btw....don't you live in Ocean beach? That's roughly an hour drive to Lowers. Either way...I take the hour trip too. The last time I was there was during the Hurley Pro...I took that drive everyday from Oceanside. Well worth the drive IMO. 909 KOOKS GO HOME!!!
Yeah, I live in OB. The only time I ever go to lowers is when I am already travelling up North. The fiance and I go up to SB a lot to wine country for a couple days, so I always stop by lowers and bring the video cam etc and get a session in there.... Its a great wave, but i would NEVER pass the 60 other good spots on the way up just to go to lowers... I think blacks is a much better wave, at that is a 10 minute drive from me... I know people argue that opinion all the time, but that is just me. I like a more powerful heaving lip with a few air sections, than a glorified skate ramp of a wave that never gets hollow.... Super fun, but like I said, I only surf there when im passing through. Honestly, the OB pier usually has better swell and more power than trestles unless its a good SW swell.
