The president of the International Surfing Association, Fernando Aguerre, launched a harsh message against the authorities who prohibit surfing in the Argentine surfing capital: “I have my balls full of not surfing,” he wrote and added: “It is incredible that you cannot surf because someone who is not in Mar del Plata says no. It is time to go back.”

“I put up with it, but this is no longer valid. It doesn’t make sense medically or for anything else,” said the president, who was supported by several people in his comments. As the multiple Argentine champion, Martín Passeri, wrote: “I think it’s time to raise our voices with coherence and respect but with a lot of firmness. And above all, the people who love this so much have been breathing this for a long time.”

According to the information provided by the president of the ASA to DUKE, the mayor had said in recent days that surfing would return to Mar del Plata. For now, the estimate has not been fulfilled.

The neighboring cities of Miramar and Necochea have had a successful return to the sea in recent days.

Aguerre, who previously lived in La Jolla, California, spent his quarantine in Mar del Plata.

In Argentina there are more than 23.000 confirmed cases and 693 deaths.
