Here’s an article that puts surfers (and surfing) on a pedestal.  Says surfing has gotten a lot more popular in recent years and that surfers are donating more of their time to charitable causes that aren’t necessarily surf-specific.  The author doesn’t substantiate his claim with any hard data apart from the fact that last month there were a bunch of charitable events in San Diego that didn’t have anything to do with fighting ocean pollution or protecting endangered surf spots.

Hmmm… unless he can produce something more solid to support his claim, I think it’d be a safe bet to change the title to, "These days, surfers are donating more and more time to causes when it’s flat."

Great article, though.  Really made me feel good about being surfer.
