Why don't they get it?
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO WIN THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!
OK, the secret is out.
Montauk is a unique place to surf. Unfortunately the State of New York is prohibiting surfers from using this very special natural resource. Despite our success in COURT, the State is still trying to prohibit us from using the ocean.
Let's work together to get them to end this discrimination once and for all.
Here's what we need you to do:
- Download and sign the letter below.
- Mail or email copies to the legislators listed below.
- Call and email the officials and legislators office to discuss the issue.
