agree with others on this topic, don't abuse the privilege to where the right is taken away. just be respectful of others, keep your distance, pick up after yourself, bring hand sanitizer for when pumping gas, handling $$ etc & things should be copasetic.. Most of us don't understand why the launches are closed yet they allow us to cram the supermarkets like sardines hunting for TP yada yada please just don't blow up the spot so we have no where to launch at all

According to this email I got from Surfline. I receive emails as a premium member. According to it, a surfer was ticketed 1000$ for disobeying order. I subscribe so I can get the long range forecasts to do some planning. Some of this information might be readily available to non subscribers through the website?

Wow, this is a serious bummer. I figure a matter of time when having a kayak on a vehicle will get you cited well before you get to the off ramp.

I feel manipulated and violated with all this.

I think the reason behind these citations is because they are launching from LA County beaches which are officially closed. In that case they leave themselves open to citation.

The 'Stay at home' mandate allows for exercise as long as you are not in a group so kayaking or paddle boarding is not an issue in its self.

I have been launching out of Newport Harbor which has no restrictions. I have paddled past the Sheriff and Coastguard many times and have seen many, many others do the same and we just get a friendly wave from the officers.

Anyone know if Dana Point (baby beach or regular launch or Doheny) is open for launching?
