i found this website http://www.toronto.ca/beach/ that posts safe and unsafe beaches due to e.coli, so i thought of some kind of poll to see how many lake surfers actually heed the warning and forego a session of surfing because of that. thanks for your participation

I belong to a group that somtimes scuba dives in the western basin area of Toronto Harbour near where the Humber river flows into Lake Ontario...Not a good surf break.
