WTF are you serious between Memorial Day and Labor day first they shut down some of our prime costal spots now we cannot even surf fish? Whats next?

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors agreed to raise fines up to $1,000 for throwing a football or Frisbee on any beach in the county.

A 37-page ordinance passed on Tuesday clarifies which beach activities are permissible and when.

The updated rules prohibit "any person to cast, toss, throw, kick or roll" anything other than a beach ball or volleyball during peak beach season -- between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

There are some exceptions for ball-throwing in pre-designated areas or when a person obtains a permit.

Additionally, playing water polo is allowed in the ocean.

The rules for ball-playing will be relaxed during the winter beach "off-season."

Officials say the rules are intended to prevent injuries to bystanders on busy summer days.

Another rule toward that end prohibits digging a hole deeper than 18 inches.

Exceptions can be granted for film and TV productions.
