The city council in Encinitas, California has decided that it will open the world famous Swami’s for a potential contest even though the locals are all bitter on the idea, according to story in the San Deigo Union-Tribune.
The council voted 3-2 to allow world-renowned surfer Linda Benson to seek a city permit to hold her four-day women’s longboarding championship at Swami’s in October, as the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended. . . Mayor Dan Dalager, Councilman James Bond and Vice Mayor Maggie Houlihan said the city’s permit process will determine whether Benson’s contest can work at that beach. . . “That’s what the process is about,” Dalager said. “It may not get through the process, or it may.”
Maybe this will finally open the door for a Rip Curl Search event in the future. . .
