Tar balls and a serious stink in the air isn’t stoping Pensacola Beach surfers from getting a few good waves even though BP has fouled up the gulf with their oil spill, according to a report on NTDTV.com
“This is a real shocker. I’m probably going to be real cautious today in what I do and where I go and what I see. But, like I said, we’re very stubborn,” said Blake Famer. “We’ll get in shark-infested, nasty waters. We’re borderline suicidal, I guess.”
Innerlight Surf Shop’s Yancy Spencer says the oil debacle is already hurting his business.
“It’s already affected our business. We own rental places too and we’ve had people canceling their week here. And then surfboard sales to summer surfers, that’s what we call people who don’t really surf year round, who surf when the weather gets nice, those sales have dropped off almost instantly.”
But it’s nice to know that BP is already giving Florida money to promote the fact that Florida beaches are still “open for business.”
