Jan 15 10 In Byron Bay Today

In Byron Bay Today’s Car Park News. What a week, firstly, I’d like to say we’re so stoked to see young Pascal up and moving so quickly, that’s great news. I’m also suitably impressed with the manner in which the young bloke, his family, friends and the broader Byron Bay recreational surfing community has handled yet another media circus in Byron Bay. Well done guys, you’ve managed to keep prejudice, personal politics and business agenda out of the picture thus far. Although there is highly concerned talk circulating the beach car parks of an Invites Only Community Forum on Surf Safety, being planned. Which is a bit of a worry, should it turn out to be true. I mean really, invites only, what’s that? However I suspect it’s just a rumour and that there’s hope yet that we may all have a say, as is the democratic way, because The Northern Star on Thursday reported the following quote: “We want to get the whole surfing community together to figure out the best options,” Byron United president Ed Ahern said. “We need to be proactive in this.” Well I suspect the whole Byron Bay surfing community and certainly our readers, will be waiting to see. By the way, don’t you reckon invites only community forum is possibly one of the best examples of an oxymoron that you’ve ever heard? Now on a much lighter note, to the girl called Gabby whose board was lost at The Pass on Thursday afternoon, you need to contact us. We have a phone number of the person who claims to have your board. Also don’t forget to check out The Women and the Waves on Friday, January 22nd at the Byron Community Centre alongside surf inspired art and music by local female artists and musicians. Art and music will be on from 7pm with the movie screening at 8pm. That’s it folks, it’s been a radical week, and no doubt there’s still much more to unfold, In Byron Bay Today.
To all those fabulous folks that chose to pose, thank you, for being here with us In Byron Bay Today.
