Well, it’s official. As of Monday, Surf City -our Surf City, the one here on LBI in New Jersey -is going to have a trial period to allow surfing outside the flags on all beaches. The borough council vote was unanimous.

If you’re a local and/or a surfer, you know this is pretty big news. If you’re familiar with Surf City and its history of being about as much fun as a keg party in Joseph Stalin’s basement (easy, it’s a joke), you know this is pretty big news.
