Today is International Surfing Day, and after driving around
and checking out my local beaches, it seems as if everyone is doing just
that—surfing. The day was created by Surfing Magazine to give,
“a chance to promote and celebrate the sport while bringing awareness to the
state of our oceans and beaches.” The magazine works with Surfrider, and the
two held a series of beach cleanups (at least 100) throughout the world. For
more info, you can click on the official website.
As I said above, my local beaches are
crowded with people taking advantage of the day. (It probably helps that it’s
currently 80 degrees and there’s a swell hitting.) Lower Trestles about 40
people sitting on the peak, and there was a 30 minute wait to get into San
Onofre at 9:00 this morning. So, what did you do to celebrate the day? And, out
of curiosity, what do you think of today, International Surfing Day, and
tomorrow, Go Skateboarding Day—do you think they’re good to have? That they
promote the sports? Or, just insiders are in the know?
