Ignoring the California Parks Department's closure of San Onofre State Beach, several surfers yesterday risked the government and the public's ire to catch some waves at Lower Trestles. Evidently, one of them made the trip in a boat, which seems like a pretty good idea: Angry onlookers yelling at you from the beach? Hop in your boat and head for international waters.

Unfortunately, the boat wasn't content with merely watching the action. It headed towards the break of its own inanimate accord, and promptly was flipped by the waves. According to The Inertia's interview with the boat's owner, the $23,000 boat was damaged beyond repair. While we're not necessarily happy that the poaching ended with a boat's destruction, it seems like the universe wants recreationalists to abide by state and federal closures.
