We live in a little something called a community people! Thanks so much to our volunteers who came down and made a difference after the weekend rains. Photos are from our Stormwater Rapid Response Teams at Neptune Street and 16th Street Hermosa Beach. Thanks to our beach captains @dvlevy and @ogjex - join us next time. It’s fun to meet your neighbors and help keep our beaches clean.

@dvlevy, SBBC Co-Founder, and voted Best Chiropractor in South Bay by Easy Reader Reader’s Poll, rode this beast at 9am this morning. Fortunately @stevegaffney doesn’t let a little rain stop him from shooting photos. Good work gentlemen!

More rain = more stormwater = more non-point source plastic pollution. Lots of you asked for a weekend opportunity to do a cleanup so we are hoping for a break in the rain Sunday morning at 10am where our Stormwater Rapid Response Teams will activate at four designated locations. Find @al_kaimi_nopit at 26th St MB, @dvlevy at Neptune St Hermosa, @ogjex at 16th St Hermosa. Bring a bucket and whatever PPE you like to feel safe and protected. Thanks for help keep our beaches clean!

It is so cool to see Hermosa Beach local @sarakohrogi in Disney+ “Chasing Waves” (not a @iambradjacobson film 😜) about her quest and others’s to surf in the Olympics representing Japan. You were so good Sara!

Thanks to everyone who came out and helped us make a dent in the micro-plastic situation occurring at our local beaches right now. Two take home messages:
• An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure
• Think Global, Act Local

If you have been down to the beach lately you have likely noticed the abundance of small plastics along the high tide line. If it’s not pouring rain, we are going to activate our Stormwater Rapid Response Team tomorrow morning between Longfellow and Neptune at 8am. Bring a bucket and whatever PPE you need to feel safe and protected. A rain jacket would probably be a good idea also!
•
In addition - after seeing how our beaches look after big rain events - really ask yourself if you are making purchasing decisions that match your values & respect for our beaches and shorelines. Plastic single use water bottles, utensils, dental floss applicators, coffee cup lids, etc. - it only takes a little more effort and planning to avoid using and buying these items! Thanks for doing your part, no matter how small!

South Bay shorepound can be treacherous! @karsten_wanke experienced it in a heat he was leading at today’s @divensurf contest at Torrance Beach. Our longtime sponsor @beachcitiesorthopedics is taking good care of Karsten now. Best wishes for a speedy recovery @karsten_wanke !!!

Alright people…it’s coming. Our friends at @surfline are calling it one of the biggest NW swells in the last 15 years. If you haven’t been training consistently now is not the time to try to paddle out and get a bomb. Winning South Bay Surf Awards and Big Wave Challenge Rides will likely be ridden. Stay safe and listen to your @lacolifeguards!
