Click here to see the profile of this user 		Looking for good spots in NY & NJ ?? - 2007/06/06 22:56 Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum and to surfing. We got back recently from a trip to Hawaii and took a lesson and rented a Longboard for a few days - Loved every minute of it and now I am hooked. Unfortunately I do not live on the coast, I am inland on New York but only 1.5 hrs from Ny or NJ beaches. Two questions for everyone:

1. What are good beginner spots in NY & NJ to surf?

2. Am I better off buying a used board or renting (I assume most rentals are going to be pretty beat up)

Thanks in advance for any help!

In all honesty, I'd say every spot on the East Coast is good for a beginner, unless it is heavily localized like I know some NJ beaches can be. Definitely go with a used board, or you can get a brand new long board at Costco for just a couple of hundred bucks, and they work great for beginners.
