Surrey B.C. - A group of nudists in Surrey is celebrating a court ruling that the city cannot prevent them from swimming naked at a local wave pool.
The ruling released Thursday by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Paul Williamson says the city was being unreasonable with Skinnydipper Services, a company that organizes nude swims and other services and events.
A judge has ruled that the City of Surrey cannot prevent skinny-dippers from renting out the Newton wave pool just because they swim naked.
"For those who came of age in the 1960s, skinny-dipping would hardly seem to be a threat to the moral fibre of Western civilization," wrote Williamson. "Not so, however, for some of the good burghers of Surrey."
Skinnydipper Services began renting the Newton wave pool in 2003 to hold private nude swims on Sunday nights, with the windows at the indoor pool papered over. Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - J C Whitney
