LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Let's go surfing now, everybody's learning how," the Beach Boys have been telling us in song since 1962.
And if you haven't started listening by now — and you live in California — perhaps it's time you did.
On Monday surfing became the official sport of California.
So grab a board, catch a wave and again as the Beach Boys like to say, find yourself, "sittin' on top of the world."
"I am stoked that surfing is now California's official sport," declared Al Muratsuchi, state assemblyman and a dedicated surfer dude himself, after Gov. Jerry Brown put his signature to the new law Muratsuchi wrote and shepherded through the Legislature.
