Where We Stand1d

There’s much uncertainty around whether we should surf or not. In taking stock of the current situation, our view is this: shred at home — and we don’t say this lightly, as connecting surfers with their passion is our entire mission. We know now that in order to beat the coronavirus, we all need to isolate ourselves as much as possible for the foreseeable future. The sooner and more completely we do that, the sooner we can get back to what we love.

We deeply understand the draw to the ocean, especially as a means to relieve stress in trying times. However, as of mid-April, millions of surfers around the world are being urged to stay home.

San Diego Lifeguard Chief James Gartland, in an article published on Surfline on Wednesday April 1, said: “By going out and surfing, you’re putting the lifeguard at risk, you’re putting the firemen at risk if you get injured…and then if you end up in the hospital, you’re taking a bed away from someone who might need it more than you.”

There are many asymptomatic folks out there who can spread this thing — even you. Check out coronavirus.gov, follow the guidelines from the Center for Disease Control and please review the latest beach closure information in your area.

We all need to act in the most socially responsible manner possible to bring an end to this once-in-a-generation pandemic.

And for us that means, at least for now, shred at home.

Here’s a collection of stories, features and videos to help keep the stoke alive.
