Just how stupid can it get. The problem i have with this is that at the end of the ban, if someone is then attacked again they will either have to admit it didn't work and they got it wrong, or they will extend the surfing Ban's longer. The problem is then (as i see it) that other stupid governments around the world could consider something similar

Stuff the $50 fine JB, who wouldn't pay $50 for a grouse solo surf ?
Then again, they are planning to cull 45 Tigers and 45 Bull Sharks which is a worry knowing they are so confident of culling that many.
There must be lots more around.

The responses sound like a typical Seabreeze forum thread
