Ocean City Surf Report

I’ve been following this oil spill, it should be called an oil gusher.  Since the day it started (4/20)  this thing has gotten way out of hand.   As I write , thousands of gallons of raw crude oil is gushing, not spilling,  into the Gulf of Mexico.  If you know anything about the Gulf or the East Coast you might of heard of the loop current or the gulf stream that runs up the east coast.  As i predicted days after the catastrophe that oil would make its way to the Atlantic at some point, I  just did know  when or how fast.  But I knew it was bound to happen.  Well almost one month into this disaster, as the oil still gushes out of the well head that they cant shut off, the oil is moving closer and closer to our beaches but it hasn’t left the Gulf just yet.

So far there is no end in sight sadly, and with that there is no doubt the oil will make it to the Atlantic and up to east coast to us. I don’t know how concerned you are but this is worrying the hell out of me not just for our beaches but for all of the animals, sea turtles, birds, marine life & wetlands that are going to be affected by this mess for many many years to come. Don’t forget about us as well!  We are surfers, most of us live at the beach, the ocean is our home.  This will change the way we do things for a very very long time.   If the worst case scenario happens, even though it has for the planet, but for our coast we can only  hope for the best and prepare for the worst. With that said I’ll be posting some videos below about what is going on.

If you want to understand how and why all of this happened I encourage you to watch the 60 minutes episode that was just released yesterday. After watching that without a doubt you will be very upset once you find out what how and why this happened and how negligent British Petroleum (BP) and the rig operator acted when it came down to the choice between money and oil or safety. PLEASE WATCH IT!  Knowledge is a very powerful tool. The more info you know and the more people that know the truth, the stronger as a whole we become!
