Piece by piece,

But the beefed-up security measures won’t stop there. The city is also interested in several other preventative measures against the alleged violent localism of the Bay Boys, including: a police surveillance camera on the bluff, boat patrols from the Sheriff’s Department, and even a designated drone to watch over the bay. At the moment, however, City Manager Dahlerbruch seems to be leaning most heavily towards the police surveillance camera.Before the latest installment to the Bay Boys crackdown saga, the group had already been under fire from city officials and those looking to surf the coveted South L.A. spot. In March of last year, a class-action lawsuit was filed against the group from an El Segundo police officer, who was allegedly intimidated away from surfing there. And then, the Bay Boys’ clubhouse – a 30-year-old bastion embodying their claim to the wave – was condemned by the Coastal Commission and demolished. Surfline was on-hand for the demolition and captured video via drone While the newly hired crew of park ranger bouncers is something new at Lunada Bay, the truth is that there has been an increased presence of police, media, and curious surfers for quite some time. Last March, an anonymous Bay Boys member told Surfline: “It’s become a complete circus on the rocks and on the cliffs…the police are posted up constantly making our beautiful sanctuary of coastline feel more like a parade or police roadblock. They've been very active this whole winter really, spending every weekend on the patio all day long (10 weekend swells in a row from January-March). We are pretty bummed out that we can’t relax, have a beer and heckle each other with officers sitting right there.”And it will probably only get worse…or, better? Regardless of your stance on localism, as the Bay Boys’ empire continues to fall, it’s fairly certain that more and more people will be flocking to surf the spot during the coming winter swells. But along with the increased crowds, soon there will be another outside presence in the lineup, too – Big Brother.++++++More stories by Dashel Pierson:Want breaking surf news, fresh videos, fullscreen photo galleries and more delivered straight to your inbox?
