It did not run until June 26 -- almost two weeks after the meeting -- in The San Diego Union-Tribune. There is no indication as to whether it's a staff piece, a freelance contribution or a wire report. What's more, it has a Denver dateline, though the event took place in a San Diego suburb.
www.swell.comLast summer, independent surf sites and surfcams were the way of the Web. This year consolidation holds sway, and Swell.com is the fittest survivor. Surf reports, forecasts and alerts from around the corner or around the world.
