Last week, National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration officials cracked down on jet skis at Mavericks big wave break in Northern California. The skis were running safety on a Hollywood movie production about the life of surfer Jay Moriarty, and personal watercraft are illegal there. Okay, whatever. It wasn’t that NOAA handed down $500 fines, that was to be expected — it’s that if you choose to fight the infraction, as the riders did, NOAA jacks the fine to $2,500. And who passes judgment on guilty or innocent? NOAA.
