Rincon Poo Barrels Endangered
Last night, the Carpinteria Sanitary District board unanimously approved a plan to switch 156 area beach-side homes from septic tanks to sewer lines. KEYT and Heal The Ocean have the scoop. This is good news for Rincon surfers.
Snowy Plover Docent
The Snowy Plover Docent program has confirmed something that might be of interest to Goleta area surfers. For those that surf near Coal Oil Point and would like to park at West Campus, now you can volunteer with the Plovers and surf afterwards:
People who volunteer (with the Plover program) can park inside the gate for recreational purposes if it is before or after their volunteer shift.
More info on the Snowy Plover program and how you can volunteer to be a docent is on their site.
Shark Crazy
Never a good thing to hype sharks, and yet the temptation is too great. Avila has had it's share of shark sightings and beach closures in late August. The Shark Research Committee also talks about a Sands sightings which sounds fishy to us.
Nathan Todd Cool
The guy who does the surf reporting for Wetsand.com was interviewed by the Ventura County Star recently and the story is here.
Bobby Morris
Bobby Morris is on the cover of Surf Circus Mag, which is a new magazine about surfing from Santa Cruz to Ventura. Speaking of Bobby, he didn't win any WQS contests in Europe this summer, but there is another short Glas film of him up online.

SB Surf Grls now has their own website, for all you ladies looking to surf with other ladies.
