Even though you probably look forward to it less. Congratulations and welcome. Senator coons . Judge barrett, to you and your family, welcome. Over the past weeks, ive been flooded with calls, texts, emails from delawareans, delawareans who are scared because theyre worried. Worried about their own health, the health of a parent or child, because they dont know if its safe for their kids to go to sc school, if their businesses will survive, or because theyre wondering why on earth this senate is focused on racing forward with a Supreme Court nominee but is not willing to take a vote to provide needed relief for them and their families. It is an understandable question when were in the midst of a devastating global pandemic, in which more than 210,000 americans have died, more than 7 million have been infected and have a new, preexisting condition.

That surfing dream. the perfect wave. the perfect look. but beneath the surface lies a murkier side. for every pristine peak, broken boards and piles of cheap polystyrene dumped on our beaches. it s really disheartening to see this amount of waste come forward. surfers may enjoy the fresh sea air, but the industry relies on toxic chemicals, producing suits and boards derived from oil. and living that dream of being at one with nature is getting more and more difficult. we do want to encourage people to get outdoors, but at the same time, at what cost to the planet? so i want to know, can surfing clean up its act?

Ben Marcus is a natural born writer who worked at Surfer Magazine as an editor for 10 years, and now has 15 published books with his name on them - well most of them, anyway. Born in San Francisco in 1960, Ben lived in the Santa Clara Valley until he moved to Santa Cruz with his mother Sue and younger brother Michael in 1970. Ben was a "Valley" trying to fit in with the cool kids during a time when Santa Cruz was a smaller, quieter, inexpensive hippie beach town. While walking home from Del Mar Middle School, down the hill toward Twin Lakes Beach, Ben saw a wave break at Middle Peak Steamer Lane - and that was that. Ben learned to surf on an eight-foot, purple Haut semi-gun at Cowell's Beach, and had a swell time as a surfer in Santa Cruz in the 1970s. He mostly surfed the east side of town at Pleasure Point and the Hook, but also the Rivermouth and the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor in the winter. Graduating from Harbor High School in 1978, Ben went to college at UCSC and UC B
