The water was really that bad.

An incident at the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant released 200+mm gallons of partially treated water into the Santa Monica Bay. The water quality suffered immensely. The problem was the waves were good, so I paddled out. A week later I developed a skin infection.

Frustrated, I sketched out a fun illustration that made me smile. Austin Barto did the rest!
