When we first heard about Jon Rose’s iPhone app Code Red, we thought it was just one more notch in the misogynist surf industry gun. That’s kind of what Cleveland Plains Dealer columnist Connie Schultz thought, too. Then she gave Jon Rose another shot:

You know, take out the garbage, look at us and not the score when we talk to you, don’t tell us we look “fine” after we’ve spent three hours getting ready. The usual. . . Then I checked out the so-called humanitarian behind this stunt. . . That’s when I found wavesforwater.org, which Rose founded “for surfers and surf travelers to help bring clean drinking water to villages all over the world.”
She also discovered that all the money Rose makes from Code Red goes to wavesforwater.org. That’s when she decided that Mr. Rose was okay, after all. Even if he is responsible for an iPhone app that tracks women’s menstrual cycles for cluelss dudes.
