Welcome to this week’s edition of The Sunday Stoke! Where we rather be surfing than filing our taxes…but wait…those are due in a couple days 😠 

On tap this week 💧Not a ton to get excited about jumping out of bed + into the water this week. However, perfect conditions for a fish or fun board like the one featured at the bottom of this email 😉 

Blue = Poor | Green = Average | Orange = Good

What’s Happening at the Beach?! 🏖️ 

Did you Know? 🌎️ 

San Diego’s coast—especially around Torrey Pines—is a nursery for young great white sharks! 🦈 They're usually just cruising and pose little threat to humans. San Diego shark attacks are extremely rare.
