Back when I was a kid, there was a pay to enter beach at a nearby lake. It had a fence on both ends running out into the water. My clever brother didn't want to pay a quarter to get in, so he swam around the fence and into the part of the lake where the beach was. The owners caught him and said he had to pay. He said you own the beach, not the lake. So, as long as he didn't use their pier or raft he was allowed.

- andrewflnr 8y agoThis exact approach seems applicable in this situation. People should take boats to it, just on the principle of asserting access.

- andrewflnr 8y agoSure, but why not also prove, along the way, that any victory Khosla achieves will be worthless anyway? If the guy wants to play hardball on property law, just win. Proving things in the real world matters, too, not just in court.
- 394549 8y agoIIRC, his issue is with the easement, not access to the beach itself. Forcing the public to take a boat to reach the public land is probably sufficiently onerous that Khosla would see it as a victory.
