Finally, a solution that makes sense. The ladies interview Fritts Causby author of a compelling article in Wrightsville Beach magazine. In the article he discusses an innovative way to preserve our beaches without dumping piles of money…and sand…to preserve the dynamic environment. Fritts uncovers the upside of building artificial reefs offshore in order to buffer the shoreline from pounding waves. Another benefit, the waves may even get bigger and more consistent. That’s a twofer if you ask us! Listen in to learn more!

Show Notes

The girls go behind the scenes with Chris Bradley, a real PI! Chris, a long distance runner, among other things, has a “made for TV” job description and is on the show with the painful task of setting the girls straight on what really goes on in the work day of a private investigator. Though he spends most of his time under cover, chasing perps and staking out potential crime scenes he still finds time to surf, just like Johnny Utah. Chris crushes Keanu Reeves on style points though! He sports a white surfboard complete with a cop stach and glasses. He’s a little more visible on the water than on the job….
