Billionaire venture capitalist Vinod Khosla was dealt a new setback in his 15-year fight to block public access through his private property to a popular surfing spot south of San Francisco.
Khosla erected a gate on the road leading down to the crescent-shaped cove after he bought the property around the Pacific beach in 2008 for $32.5 million. His lawyers contend he had the right to do so as the property owner unless he was offered proper compensation. He fought all the way to the US Supreme Court, which refused in 2018 to take up his appeal of a lower-court ruling in favor of the Surfrider Foundation.
