Surf's up for California and El Salvador

Wednesday, April 10, 2019


California masterfully markets its surfing culture and Gov. Gavin Newsom said Tuesday he wants to share that expertise with El Salvador to help boost tourism and provide more economic opportunities for its impoverished citizens.

He'll have a willing partner in President-elect Nayib Bukele, who he met later. Bukele has an initiative titled "Surf City" aimed at investing in beaches to drive tourism, Fox News reports.
