1. Re: Rex Flodstrom Arrested for Surfing Oak Street Beach

Several of us from Laguna Beach, CA and around the world are very upset about a Chicago surfer, Rex Flodstrom, who was recently arrested by the Chicago Police Department for surfing in Lake Michigan. Several years ago James Pribram and Dave Vanderveen traveled to Chicago and, with the help of many local activists, were instrumental in the reversal of the no surfing laws in Chicago. While surfing is only allowed at a couple of Chicago beaches, you can imagine the bureaucracy they had to deal with regarding the Chicago Park District. James is communicating with 11 time world surfing champion Kelly Slater and James is planning a trip to Chicago to support Rex at his court date on February 16th. Please let us know if you can be of any assistance. We appreciate your support. Surfing is not a crime.
