Towny said..he was asked to repeatatly leave the area he refused and kept surfing
This could be a series of dumb questions........
who has the legal control of the area being surfed?
is access to the area only permitted for the competitors surfing?
or is it just a given that they take control of the area when they want to?
If the French fella was officially "tresspassing", why is it left up to a local thug to deal with him?
surely the event organisers can call in the local police [or whoever has legitimate authority] to remove him?
