Surfers “Drop-In” Despite Drop in Temperature
Cold. It’s starting to become a part of our lives again. As much as we’ve blocked it out of our minds, it is upon us. As the fall season grows old and winter creeps in, surfing will not (can not) stop.

Opposing Response from Last Week’s “To Go, or Not to Go to Class?”
