Surfing is now California's official sport....
« on: August 20, 2018, 10:20:33 PM »
Not that it makes one bit of difference, but it is our tax dollars at work......

https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/California-designates-a-state-sport-surfing-13169881.php

It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

And they hate SUP's:

" "Said Bill Calderon, the Majority Leader of the California State Assembly and a co-author of the bill, “We hope this designation will bring more awareness to the issue of ocean pollution and help us take a more aggressive stance on reducing the use of things like single-use plastics (aka SUP's) that pollute our beaches and harm our ecosystem." "

"single-use plastics (aka SUP's)"
Sorry, fake news.  Calderon did not mention SUP boards nor does his comment imply anything about SUPs or surfing.  "Single-use plastics" is used to refer to things like plastic sandwich bags, drinking straws, etc.  Absolutely nothing to do with SUP boards or any kind of surfboard.
From plasticfreechallenge.com: "Single-use plastics, or disposable plastics, are used only once before they are thrown away or recycled. These items are things like plastic bags, straws, coffee stirrers, soda and water bottles and most food packaging."
It's always best to get the facts instead of spreading negative false rumors.
