On Sept 5, 2018, Surf Equity won the fight for inclusion, the fight for a multi-heat division and the fight for equal prize money across all World Surf League global events. In an email referring to Surf Equity’s advocacy work, Governor Newsom said: “I applaud the courage of the athletes and activist who fought for this victory, and I am hopeful that this will inspire the next generation — of daring athletes and activists with the audacity to challenge the status quo.” New York Times Magazine | Sunday, Feb 7, 2019

Letter

HMBSMA Hoist Letter to Harbor Commission

Agenda Item 10, Three Captains Hoist—Possible Alternative Location: Steve McGrath pulled this item from the agenda and the item was not heard at the Dec. 7, 2016 Regular Harbor District meeting.

Read the Half Moon Bay Seafood Marketing Association letter to the Harbor Commission. 

Yet again, the commercial fishing community must ask the San Mateo County Harbor District to fully consider all safety, traffic and economic impacts, and engage stakeholders prior to making infrastructure decisions that impact our fleet, and others. We feel that the district should be responsible for understanding all of these impacts prior to providing any approval regardless of any anticipated processes that may or may not be required by other permitting agencies.
