Skim board riders battling Laguna Beach officials over Aliso Beach sand berm

A battle is brewing between the city of Laguna Beach, which recently took control of Aliso Beach from the county, and skim boarder riders who claim the officials are unfairly considering a new law that would cut into some of their fun.  One of the biggest attractions at Aliso Beach for the wave riders is a naturally occurring sand berm that separates Aliso Creek from the ocean. When it’s breached under the right conditions, it’s an excellent wave for skimboarding.  “It does break naturally more often than not,” Greg Viviani told KTLA. “Also, the wave riders like to break it as well because it does create a standing wave and it creates sandbar out front, which creates better waves to ride as well.”  However, the city is looking at a new ordinance that would ban skim boarder riders and others from digging out the berm over concerns about polluted water from upstream going into the ocean too often.  Laguna Beach Mayor Bob Whalen spoke to KTLA last month about the is...
