Hello fellow riders,
At the suggestion of Cam I'm putting this on here. I go to college at UC Santa Cruz, but my Mom lives in good old Vancouver. For my Environment and Society course, we were assigned to write a paper, do interviews, et cetera on an environmental issue in our hometown. I immediately jumped on the excuse to write about the Shore and the sport we all know and love. If any of you care for the bibliography, I can post it as well. So now that the background is done, I'll post the paper (note: I have to post it below because it's too long to fit in one post).
PS: If any of you want to use this for something, that's fine, but please let me know first. I spent a lot of time on this and there's no pride in plagiarism.
Attending UC Santa Cruz, College Eight.
