Surfing is now California’s state sport…and it’s the law. That’s after governor Jerry Brown announced today that he has signed a bill making the proclamation.
Surfing is “an iconic California sport” the new law says, but it admits surfing was imported into California from Hawaii and originated in Polynesia.
The law claims California is the heart of the surfboard building industry…reminding us that the neoprene wet suit and surf forecasting both originated here in the Golden State. California enjoys 11-hundred miles of coastline.
