The more than 100 million trees that died in California after being weakened by drought and insect infestations have transformed large swaths of the Sierra Nevada into browned-out tree cemeteries. In some areas more than 90 percent of trees are dead.
This week a group of scientists warned in the journal BioScience that the dead trees could produce wildfires on a scale and of an intensity that California has never seen.
Two California politicians, Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance) and Assembly majority leader Ian Calderon (D-Whittier), have drafted a bill to make surfing the official sport of California. The co-sponsors, who are avid surfers themselves, claim the sport not only encapsulates the spirit of California, but also generates over $6 billion in annual retail sales.
Thousands of toys were met by hundreds of eager hands last month for the annual 25th Annual Beach Cities Hermosa’s basketball gym was packed with wrappers of all ages. Local restaurateur Ron Newman provided lunch for the event, which began in the morning and stretched into the afternoon. Co-organizer Pete Tucker said that local fire stations and police departments, which served as donation points for the toys, seemed to fill up with donations as fast he could take them away.
Surfing is only slightly higher than hacky sack on the list of stereotypical California sports.
So, it’s fitting (and kinda funny) that state Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi, D-Torrance, is seeking to declare surfing the state sport of California.
State Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi has proposed a bill that would deflate federal government plans for offshore oil drilling by ensuring that pipelines and other infrastructure could not be built in California state waters.
Assembly Bill 1775, introduced by Muratsuchi and Assemblywoman Monique Limón, joins Senate Bill 834, carried by State Senators Hannah-Beth Jackson and Ricardo Lara.

It wasn’t long ago that surfing was frowned upon — a sport, if you dare call it that, for slackers. Surely, this salty pastime would be just a fad, parents hoped, as they got calls from school informing them their child had, again, ditched class to chase swell.
Fast forward a few decades, and you never know if that flip-flop wearing surfer next to you is the head honcho of a million-dollar company. Your doctor or dentist surfs. Parents home school their kids in hopes that they are the next Kelly Slater.
Even your grandma surfs.
Torrance, CA – Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance) and Joint Author Assembly Majority Leader Ian Calderon (D-Whittier), today announced the introduction of AB 1782, a bill which will establish surfing as California’s state sport. California is an iconic California sport that brings in significant economic activity to the state each year. The state is home to several surfing museums, including the Surfers’ Hall of Fame.
Both Assemblymembers are avid surfers who have spent much time surfing in the waters off the coast of Southern California.
SACRAMENTO (CBSLA) — California could be riding the wave to surfing becoming the state’s official sport.
Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance) and Joint Author Assembly Majority Leader Ian Calderon (D-Whittier) on Wednesday introduced AB 1782, a bill that would establish surfing as California’s state sport.
The rubber is hitting the road, the gloves are coming off and California leaders are suiting up for battle. At least, figuratively.
