According to a news release posted yesterday on the SIMA website the 12th Annual Surf Summit has been “post-poned” due to fears over Mexico’s latest export to the United States: Swine Flu.
As of yesterday afternoon, April 27, 2009, the Center for Disease Control has recommended that people avoid all non-essential travel to Mexico at this time. The health and safety of the SIMA Surf Summit attendees and staff are our first priority. . . . SIMA Surf Summit 12 is NOT cancelled, only postponed from the May 6-9 dates. SIMA is working now to determine new event dates for the near future when the situation is better contained and it is safe to travel. New event dates will most likely be announced later this week.
In other words don’t go asking for your money back just yet. Seems like members of the surf industry really could go anywhere to talk, drink, and spend a couple afternoons swimming in pools of their own urine. Couldn’t they?
