The U.S. Border Patrol says it arrested a Mexican surfer who was trying to smuggle 24 pounds of marijuana on his board along the California shore, the Los Angeles Times is reporting.
The 30-year-old was spotted paddling near the Mexican border and was ordered to come ashore. He threw a duffel bag into ocean, and it later washed ashore with five bricks of marijuana worth about $74,000 inside.

Are there laws against surfing under the influence? Just curious.
