My wife wants to go to the beach with the kids and I'm not much of a "sit there and sun" type of person. It has to have some nice sandy areas for the kids. CT or RI (maybe even NY) would be best. Of course, we want some waves, so water like Rocky Neck won't work. Any pointers would be great. Jay Yellow Jeep Wrangler or Silver Jeep Commander.

My wife wasn't up to the trip so we haven't gone yet but the suggestion I got from Rojo was East Matunuck Beach in R.I. I did a little research and though you can't paddle from the state part of the beach you can walk a little ways and put in just off the beach. There is a feature called "Deep hole" that is supposed to be a good spot. I was warned by another paddler that there may be "friction" with other people who want to surf there though. Another suggestion was "Long Sands Beach" which I was told was in the lower part of Maine. I haven't tried surf paddling yet and am anxious to go,so let me know what you find. Thanks, Al P ...just another old dog learning new tricks... | ||

The best way to avoid friction with surfers is to share and know the etiquette. [ Click here for link... ] You get what you get. Expect nothing. Live frugally On suprise. | ||

I think it might be the same place Mr. P is talking about. If that is the case, Mr. P, from what I'm talk, surfers play on "this side" and kayakers play on "that side".

The hole break is best suited for yaks and the beach break for boards but it is all fair game. Rocks, sand, crabs, snails, and ocean. Ahhh. I use wunderground for forecasts.

Recent friction in another RI break caused a whole bunch of shit w/ local boarders and cops. Rules are rules, the surf thing IS DIFFERENT, but with Duke Wavewalker along for the session, you'll have no problems! LOL! ROJO is also a good man for the job. We're locals.......and LOCALS RULE!!!

FYI, if there is a crazy fun freestyle surf move, it can be done there, and if the duke man doesn't know what what i am talking about i would be shocked.

Don't hog the waves, throw a few wave wheels to entertain the locals, maybe a hand roll or to, and you'll be like the little brother with special needs. They will be buying YOU beers... | ||

A little different vibe over by Point Judith area. Still over all I have never actually had any troubles other than a little atitiude. | ||
