The Top 50 Surfing Blogs for 2012

The Top 50 Surfing Blogs

When it comes to challenging sports, you will be hard pressed to find a more challenging and physically demanding sport than surfing. Known for its exhilarating thrills and exciting unpredictability, surfing is beloved by adrenaline seekers all around the world.

Surfing can be practiced in any ocean that has decent sized waves and as long as you have a good quality wetsuit you can surf any time of the year and in most weathers. One of the great things about surfing is the unruly nature of the waves. You never know what kind of wave you will be riding and to what heights it will take you. Another bonus is the social side of surfing. A virtual subculture, surfers are known for their friendliness and relaxed approach to life.

However, surfing requires extremely high levels of physical fitness and is also a very dangerous sport. Deaths and severe injuries are not uncommon as a result of surfing and you should never underestimate the power of the ocean’s surf. Surfing beginners usually start off with small waves and with the help of a qualified surfing instructor. As you progress and become more skilled, you will then be ready to tackle larger and more untamed waves.

Our team here at VeteransBenefitsGIBill has gathered 50 of the best surfing blogs that will provide you with invaluable surfing tips and news from the surfing community. We are happy to award badges to each of the blogs that made our list, and we encourage you to share our list of blogs with others that enjoy this exciting sport.

Congratulations to the bloggers that made our list and enjoy the surf!

FOOD BILL - Our right to Have Vege Gardens under threat??

There is a piece of legislation going through NZ parliament at the moment called the Food Bill. There is not much information in the media because the media aren’t or can’t talk about it. It will be snuck through faster than a greasy pig while we are on holidays in January. We need action now to get 50,000 signatures – already nearly 13,000 have signed – not enough and we potentially have less than TWO WEEKS.
Sign this petition to show that you oppose Food Bill 160-2 READ HERE

And remember to click on the link in the return email
to confirm your account for the petition.

It is a huge attack on our individual freedom and rights under the guise of protecting our safety. (the same excuse that is used in the US to curb our human rights)

The Food Bill 160-2 will seriously impede initiatives like community gardens, food co-ops, heritage seed banks, farmers markets, bake sales, and roadside fruit & vegetable stalls.
Just like the Otepotei Urban Organics
About OtepotiDunedin's network for anyone interested in growing food in their back yards or urban environments anywhere in Otago or Southland. We love to see people creating new gardens and learning how to manage them sustainably. And do ya know what we like most of all? Radical cats who join our seed savers network and participate in our 'Adopt-a-Crop' initiative, where you help to keep a heirloom or open pollinated vegetable variety going and share it with the rest of our seed savers network! visit our website at www.urbanorganics.org.nz for more info, and email otepoti.urban.organics@gmail.com to join the mailing list and receive a seed catalog! Woooo hooo veggies are sooo goooooood.


It is effectively companies like Monsanto preparing the way for total food control.
Affecting seed banks like the awesoem one we have at Otepoti

So many people have contacted us with their concerns about the Food Bill that I requested a further meeting with officials to discuss these concerns (officials have already agreed to amend the bill to make it clear it will not apply to seed saving, in response to a request from me.)

I concluded from my briefing with officials that the Food Bill has ended up inadvertently capturing things like home gardening, bartering and seed exchange, which should never have been covered in the bill in the first place, because of its broad coverage and definitions (eg its definition of sale includes bartering).
