I surf paddle year-round - waveski, surf kayak, longboat. It's been a long while since a small active group of us - NE Surf Kayakers - would meet and surf from RI to southern ME. But, people age.. Work, family and other life obligations take over. Anyway, if you are ever down in the MA or even NH and want to meet up for surf, drop an email. I consider myself more a surfer than a paddler: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4q8QF7CcXGgw4zLuStYo0w sing

Well... That would certainly ruin a planned surf session. Many a good NSPN surf sessions right by the Tides Restaurant. Nothing like the leisurely surf sessions there.. usually completed with a good debriefing (and good nature) ribbing over food and liquid refreshments. Guess the alternative would be to head towards the King Beach area (and deal with the red algae). sing

Interesting. FYI. I regularly surf out of Nantasket (it's closer to me than Nahant), mostly with a waveski but also occaisonally with a long boat. Never had a problem until yesterday. As I got ready to launch from the parking area, next to the bath house, a DCR ranger came along and shooed me away, saying that kayak launching from the public beach is prohibited. Not another another surfer or boater out there. Several pedestrians, mostly locals, came up and said, "What!?" Anyway, I headed north, just past the public beach area and launched. I googled DCR regulations and saw nothing(except this thread) regarding prohibited kayak launching from Nantasket. You would think if Nantasket is prohibited, so would Nahant which many of us have a launched from for years and years. Could be my (bad) luck to run into an overzealous DCR ranger. sing
