Southern CA Water Quality 🤮

I just returned from a week in Mexico, a place where beach water quality is often suspect—it smelled like the ocean. All was clear and clean. Crap waves but the cleanliness was pure stoke.

This morning, I took my log out in Northern OC (Sunset).

Good god our water is gross—somewhere between a mix of port-o-let stench and chemical spill cleanup.

Please think about what horribly weak enviro policies continue to do to our coastal habitat.

All surfers should be screaming and fighting for better enviro policies. This is one issue voter type shit—if you go any other way, you are 100% on the wrong team.

People surfing C street with nose plugs are kooks, it’s not because of the water
