Borrowing comedian Bob Hope’s signature song – Thanks for the Memory – SurfWriter Girls
Sunny Magdaug and Patti Kishel want to thank everyone for another great year. And
lots of memories!
It’s hard to believe that we’re already celebrating the
Third Anniversary of our beach environmental and lifestyles blog SurfWriter Girls.
Since writing our first blog post on July 20, 2011, we’ve
written 124 feature stories about the people, places, events, and organizations
that are making a difference in the quality of life of our North Orange County beach
communities.
We also write for local publications...
and are volunteer
media consultants for the Surfrider Foundation, helping to promote its environmental goals of protecting the
world’s oceans, waves and beaches.
Some of the highlights
we’ve shared with you include stories about:
George
Freeth surfing the HB Pier in 1914
Legendary surfboard shaper Ben Aipa
Environmentalist Rachel

feast

These and many other memories are painted in our minds…
and
we hope that we have created some good memories for you. We know how fortunate we are to be able to experience the
joy and spirit of our beach communities and to share it with others.
Look for us wherever there’s something happening in and
around Surf City and Seal Beach. SurfWriter Girls will be there with our
cameras and notebooks getting the story for you!
Cheers
to the coming year! – Sunny and Patti
