Stop it, Tom's got my new stick shaped. Sorry

April 1, 1 p.m.: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issues an executive order to limit movements going into effect Thursday at midnight. Only travel for essential reasons will be permitted. This includes getting food from grocery stores, going to essential workplaces and seeking medical assistance.

does that mean no going to the beach to surf ?
is there going to be some kind of enforcement ?

"essential activities" That would include surfing for me but I don't think it will pass the current situation. Beach side residents will be the only surfers out on this swell. They might even patrol the beach on 4 wheelers. Cop told me that last weekend down in IRC.

Dangit!!!!!

i believe exercise is considered essential. so walking, running, or riding your bike will keep you safe on the streets. surfing is a lot of exercise unless you are a bobber

It's exercise so just maybe... Many orders we've seen have an out for exercise

Section 3. Essential Activities


Section 3. Essential Activities

A. For purposes of this Order and the conduct it limits, "essential activities" means
and encompasses the following:
1. Attending religious services conducted in churches, synagogues and houses
of worship; and
11. Participating in recreational activities ( consistent with social distancing
guidelines) such as walking, biking, hiking, fishing, hunting, running, or
swimming; and
m. Taking care of pets; and
1v. Caring for or otherwise assisting a loved one or friend.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the
State of Florida to be affixed, at Tallahassee, this

So can you drive from Orlando to Coca Beach for a recreational activity? Not that I have to but curious how much latitude we have to travel to a break.

The stay at home order is the new thing. I guess the main thing is all businesses and organizations must close- unless deemed essential. But I think travel to surf and parking along roadsides will much more scrutinized. A police officer could pull you over and say where you going? If you're on 95 and say surfing I could see some eye rolling going on.

this will vary for each county, some more rural than others. but let me tell you, when more and more cops become infected (several dozen are quarantined in tampa, on the rise in pinellas, 1400 in NYC...) i SERIOUSLY doubt that they're gonna be prioritizing kicking a few surfers off of the beach. hence why gov. desatan changed the 6 month rule for retired police and medical ppl to get back on the job. you really think they're releasing prisoners only to put more people (who have potentially been exposed) back inside? shit is hitting the fan and they're running out of wipes (double entendre)...just be sensible.
