New rules will rein in surf camps, generate funds for city
Oct. 10 (UNION-TRIBUNE)
ENCINITAS –
There will likely be fewer novice surfers crowding the beaches of Encinitas next summer under new rules for surf camps that the City Council enacted this week.
Many formerly out-of-town surf camps have moved to Encinitas to avoid the rules governing their operations in San Diego, Del Mar and Coronado, as well as at Carlsbad and San Elijo state beaches. Solana Beach, Encinitas' southern neighbor, doesn't allow any surf camps.
