More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The Pacific-blue of the Atlantic breaks into foam against a low, sandy point as your instructor checks the tide and the wind. You meet at the car, shoulder a soft-top board, and walk across warm sand — the ocean already calling you. In 90 focused minutes a private group lesson moves fast: land drills for pop-ups and safety, then paddling out and reading the shoulder of a breaking wave.
