Big Bay in South Africa is a legendary surfspot. Thousands of wind and kitesurfing tourists and locals enjoy our beaches and "Kamers" in Big Bay is one of the big drawcards - to lose this piece of beach would be a disaster for all the local and international water users. Many local kids use Big Bay as their local surfspot, and surfers, kiters or windsurfers drifting into the path of Hovercraft will ultimately lead to a complete ban on watersports in Big Bay on safety grounds. Do we really want to close down the most popular surfingspot in Cape Town for a Hovercraft which may at best, take 150 cars off the road in peak hour?

For anyone who has been there you know what I am talking about. For you who want to go there, this is a place with a great lawn for rigging and a place to hang out....even non-surfing girl friends (or boy friends) like this place. Please Help!!

Background
"The proposed Hovercraft landing site at "Kamers" in Big Bay will mean the end of Kamers as a worldclass surf - windsurf and kite-surfing spot. Big Bay is also used daily by many local residents who walk their dogs, run and the like. The Hovercraft landing site will deny beach and water users access to this pristine beach at the start of the Blauwberg Conservation Area (BCA)."

There is still something that can be done!!
"The Hovercape company has to provide council with EIA (Environmental Impact Assesment) study which has to include any objections from affected parties. Anyone who feels the Hovercraft is not in their interest is allowed to hand in their objections."
