Re: [Paddlewise] Surfing in S. Cal. should be exciting...

We must also add mud slides and coastal erosion, ie, bluffs with a view
and expensive real estate plunging into the ocean. Now, did those Southern
California fires ever go out? But what really concerns me are the reports
that California is drifting to the northwest at the rate of a fraction of an
inch per year. I think I hear Mark Sanders drifting closer.
