As the bulldozers move in to destroy one of the most sacred and storied surf communities in the world at Bingin, we catch up with local ripper, Kopral, for an eyewitness report of what went down and how he feels about the future of both Balinese culture and surf culture.

We also speak with the first man to ever surf Uluwatu, Morning of the Earth star, Steve Cooney, for his reflections on the changes that have unfolded since he first set foot on the island in 1971, who is to blame, and what, if anything, can be done, to turn back the tide.
