The following was addressed to Jon Coen in response to his Liquid Lines column last week (“Let’s Talk About Groins and Decent Swell, Too”).

Jon:

Regarding your comment “But the ‘you’re going to destroy a one-of-a kind, historic surf spot’ is a tough sell in the face of ‘save my house'” -I’ve spoken to very few people who see this as an either/or situation. Most believe barrier island homes and surfing should go hand in hand, along with fishing, cycling, sunbathing and barbecues.
