has learned surfing has EXPLODED while people try to have fun while social distancing!!!
We spoke with several of the country's biggest surf shops and board manufacturers this week ... and each one told us the demand has been so huge, they can't keep boards in stock!!in Florida says."The surfboard industry is on fire right now."in California,"We're selling four times the amount that we usually do."
It all makes sense ... surfing's outdoors. It's socially distant. It's cheap. And, it's straight-up great exercise! Here's how spokespeople from some of the other big shops and manufacturers around the nation explained the demand to us this week:"More beginners entered the market than almost ever before due to surfing being one of the few activities deemed safe and accessible during COVID.""Surfing has doubled this year because it's a social distancing activity and it's free.""There has been a definite increase. I can't even put a timeframe for board requests.
