Samurai Surfers
A little inspiration to start off your week. 
I just found this article/video on Frontline's Rough Cut. It's the story of "El Doctor" a Puerto Rican surfer-cum-activist who took on the U.S Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps were violating U.S clean water laws by dumping harbour dredge in a live reef near El Doctor's favourite surfing spot. A nice example of how the little guy can make a big difference.

Four year court battle and the US Engineers have to manually remove the debris and damage they caused.
Surfers... who knew?
