Two Amazing Ocean Stories: History and Hitchhikers
First up, in California, the San Lorenzo Rivermouth surf spot has been officially designated a California Historic Landmark. This is where surfing was first introduced to the continental US back in 1885 by Hawaiian princes. The state has finally recognized this pivotal moment in surf history. You can read the full story over at the Santa Cruz Sentinel.
But that’s not the only wild news from the waves. Scientists off Australia have captured rare footage of remora fish, also known as sucker fish, whale-surfing on humpback whales. These fish use their adhesive plates to hitch rides, and when the whale breaches, they peel off and then stick the landing like Olympic gymnasts. It’s a sight to behold! You can see the footage right here at AP News.
These stories remind us of the rich history and wild wonders of the ocean. Whether it’s the roots of surfing or the incredible adaptations of marine life, there’s always something amazing happening in the water. Keep your eyes open for the next wave of adventure!
