Surf Rider Foundation & Smart Fin

Hey, do your Hulk Hogan impersonation again for us. Got any new videos, brother?

 

sorry, typo meant shoobie

 

Dear Pump,

I am a past chair for Palm Beach County chapter. We cleaned lots of beaches. We did a beachscape project. We did a two year blue water task force to collect date on water quality, which led to the local health department begrudgingly adopting our recommendations and cleaning up a couple sources that were closing down DuBois Park in Jupiter. We got the state FWC to enact a ban on feeding sharks by scuba divers in local waters shared by surfers swimmers and divers. We raised money for scholarships to local junior activists.

National, Surfrider Foundation was responsible for getting a giant paper mill in NorCal shut down and fined one of the largest amounts in punitive damages in history due to discharging of poison into the ocean.

I use the word we alot, because one individual can not do this alone.

I understand surfers natural anti authority anti organizational philosophy, but don't be all knee jerk until you know the facts. Surfrider Foundation is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to protect the worlds oceans, beaches and waves for the enjoyment of all people.

If you have a problem with that, due to their organizational overreach, become a part of the solution. Join and make a change for the better.

Just one surfer's point of view.

Respectfully,

SISD

 

I'm done with them. Used to be a member but noticed a national shift at the cost of local issues. Some local chapters rock (Delaware is an example) but I'd rather put stock in pure local efforts.

 

A fin that measures temperature, salinity, ph, etc. is silly.

 

What?? What if water is way too salty?? Get out of water before you shrivel up due to osmotic pressure!!!

 

I know. I am no longer active, and there are other local groups that are more effective on the micro level down here such as Lagoon Keepers and the Palm Beach Reef Relief to name a couple. It takes an enormous amount of energy to steer a local activist group such as a local Surfrider Chapter in the right directions. Financial and family obligations have priority of course. If I want to make a difference here locally with limited time, I will still bank on Surfrider Foundation's Palm Beach County Chapter to help make my efforts count. But I no longer have the time to make sure they are water testing and beachscape monitoring, which are empirical science based projects that hold up under the scrutiny of public meetings with elected and (god forbid) appointed officials and stakeholders. These are the science based programs that have made Surfrider so effective. It's not opinion, it's fact, regarding water quality and beach erosion, escarpment, and re nourishment from natural sand flow patterns. We've stopped breakwater projects, seawalls and opened up beach access that was denied to us. We've created alliances with other like minded environmental groups such as the sea turtle folks and the Friend of Jupiter Beach, who scoop the poop so they and their dogs can go to the beach and roam free. It takes a ****ing village.

In MD, they are cool looking plates (IMO). I'd much rather sport a inside-out tube view than a farm, a heron, or the war of 1812.


These were my choices:


According to Barry, in NH, Surfrider tags serve as an indicator of sexual preference.

What color is your bandana, Barry?

I bet all you dummies hating on surfrider slobber over wounded warriors.

 

Lolz

 

Your post tells me you would NOT join Surfrider unless you think it makes you cool.
You are not cool. License plates do not make you cool. The cool people do what surf rider does quietly, with no recognition or joining a bunch of queers.
You are an classless queer that has started surfing because it is "in".
Your post reeks of it.
Now go kill yourself.

 

and the Clinton Foundation

 

The only thing that has given you the "right" to say that is that those wounded warriors sacrificed a lot for you.
I don't like war any more than you do, but your post is as despicable as they come.

 

Barry,

WW is a wasteful organization. Like 10% of the donated funds are actually earmarked for wounded Vets.
I think Fungus was trying to be funny. (which failed)

In all seriousness tho, my buddy worked for WW in SD, he was saying this 3 + years ago (bad spending)

If you do donate to any veteran cause (which you should!), search out locally & small run organizations.
