I promise this will be my one and only political post ever on Surfy Surfy.
This is a special message to all the surfers in my hometown:
Dear fellow Encinitas surfers,
We surfers are haunted by many stereotypes, one of them is the stigma of political apathy. Encinitas will always be a surf town first and a flower town second. The local surf community has to shoulder the burdens of a rapidly expanding population that puts unprecedented pressures on our beaches and surf spots. As a 36 year old Leucadian surfer and second generation surfboard builder I have become active in local politics over the last two years. I am asking all Encinitas, Leucadia, Cardiff and Olivenhain surfers to support Teresa Barth for Encinitas city council on November 7th. Teresa Barth is a rare find for the surf community, she respects us.
The current Encinitas city council attempted to dupe us all by trying to Jedi mind trick us into raising our fees/taxes in the feel good fiasco that was Prop C; a bad tax disguised as a clean water program. Thanks to Teresa Barth and the Encinitas Taxpayer’s Association (headed by lifelong surfer Bill Rodewald) Prop C was exposed as a sham and was soundly defeated. The Encinitas surfing community deserves better. Surfers, you are vital part of this town and critical to the local economy. I urge all surfers and the local surf industry to please support Teresa Barth, she has our back.

November 6, 2006Yes on 87! Don’t let the propaganda convince you otherwise. The petroleum companies have made this one of the most heavily financed political agendas for a proposition. They want you to vote no, but VOTE YES on 87. Pretty interesting how gas prices have been hovering in the lower $2 right before election, huh? How obvious is this? They’ve been knowingly gouging us and they do not have your best interest in mind. Thanks.
