With the Surfer's Walk of Fame as their backdrop, state and local elected officials joined leaders in the surfing industry at the base of the Hermosa Beach Pier on Saturday to support surfing as the official sport of California.
“I’m stoked to be here,” said State Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-South Bay), who co-sponsored AB 1782 along with Assembly Majority Leader Ian Calderon (D-San Gabriel Valley), also in attendance. The bill was introduced last week in the California legislature.
