(This is where I learned to surf, too.) haha Sadly enough maybe Calif gets the benefit of Eastwoods guilty conscience over what he did in Hawaii huh?.
All the development makes me feel ill, that's why I can't even stand soCal any more so I had to move to where there's at least room to breathe...

That's so sad. People shouldn't be allowed to own beaches- it's like the air we breathe, it should be there for everyone.

One day a man named Clint came along with 5 of his armed guard thugs and took all their gear, harassed them and said that this was now private property owned by a Mr. Clint Eastwood and they must leave immediately or be arrested and charged with criminal trespass. Well as you could imagine this was news to them as they had been on this island since even before Captain Cook or King Kamehameha had been there (thousands of years).

Some left and some (the ones that depended on the fish in this area for the survival of their family and have called this area home for a while stayed and were arrested for criminal trespass. Within weeks there was barbed wire and fencing put up and cement mixers pouring the foundation.

Well to cut a long tragic, horrific story really short within months what once was a beautiful, peaceful, serene beach and fishing village for the local inhabitance was turned into a 5th home monstrosity surrounded in video cameras, motion lights cement walls and armed guards. The entire beach has been destroyed and the man only spends a couple months out of the year there and it remains empty the rest of the time.

It was actually the last remaining "protected" camping area and virgin beach within many miles of this area. Now there are none...

They have vanished forever, like the Hawaiian culture and way of life that has been encroached and destroyed by people just like Clint. But hell, at least he has a 5th home to use at Christmas time. Merry Christmas Clint.

He bought it for millions. It was a fishing village for thousands of years and then "protected" land for over 100. Then all of a sudden Clint showed up with millions and it was off the protected list and for sale. The deal closed in days. I would think with the bullshit he is talking in this video he would have made it a protected private reserve.

Or at worst built a minimum impact modest sized solar powered house especially as it isn't a primary residence. But no, he built the ugliest monstrosity with the most cement poured possible that the permit allowed. He is full of shit talking all this crap in this video. That was my point. He should have not made this video and he should have treated the island differently. He has contributed immensely to the destruction of our island.

Clint Eastwood talks about learning to surf at San Onofre State Park, and why we need to stop a proposed toll road from destroying the park forever.
