Miami Beach ready for surfing

Surfer Today "The Miami Beach surf ban has been lifted, on the 11th January 2012."

'After a strong and united complaint, the Floridian surfing community may again hit the waves of the city's beachfront.

'Surfers, kitesurfers, windsurfers, bodyboarders and other paddleboarders had been limited to the southern tip of the beach, a measure which was very unpopular and unfair.

'"We’re conscious of the fact this was not handled appropriately and that surfing has always been allowed in Miami Beach," Commissioner Michael Góngora said.

'A very large number of protesters had invaded the City Hall carrying messages against the system and against the rule that strongly restricted wave riders in the main peaks of Miami Beach. Jetty Beach and First Street Tower were the only spots allowed for riding waves.'
