Sign_3 Surfers may pull radical moves out on the water, but they better not try anything funny on the Jersey shore.

Long Beach Township, New Jersey, has become the lastest town to outlaw changing clothes in public – even if you’re covered up by a towel. This has outraged some local surfers.

As one wave-rider noted in a quote that you don’t expect to read in the New York Times: “Maybe when they’re pulling the suit up you’d see a little bit of someone’s butt, but you’d see more on daytime TV.”

Kind of ironic to read about a prude beach in the Times, notes Jaunted.com. Last Sunday, the paper used the cover of the Travel section to breathlessly inform us about a radically different trend: Nakations.

Better keep all this in mind, before you rinse off under an outdoor shower.

Hi Larry-
Someone sent me this article recently, and I make a product that solves this problem for everyone! It's called the Sqivvy, and it is a pop-up dressing room for just this type of issue... getting changed in a public place. Check it out at www.sqivvy.com
