Surfing and The Blackball Flag - A Bad Combo

I know it's not fair to blame the lifeguards who prohibit surfing along stretches of beach. They don't make the laws. However, they implement it. They fly the damn blackball flag, post, and enforce other lame no-surfing zones, often until 7pm at night. Surfers who are at the beach year-round should be allowed to surf all of their beaches, year-round. The blackball, no-surf zone policies are intended to protect the non-local visitors who swarm the beaches like roaches 3 to four months each year. Most of these summertime visitors are a disgrace to the cleanliness of the beach. If you've ever owned and lived in a condo complex, you understand renters. The non-local beach visitors are like those renters. They are transient and don't give a shit about maintaining a nice, clean beach. In addition, the lifeguards never make any effort to keep the swimmers and spongers out of the no-surf zones, suggesting that lifeguards don't like surfers.
