Barra is the best place by far in that region. They are holding a WCT event there the rip curl search but wont reveal that the wave is actually barra. Andy irons pat oconnel and the mobster just got back from a surf trip therte and told me it was epic!

Hawaii's a great place to go surfing. Oh, you mean in Connecticut. Sorry, I never surfed there.

Ebay is always a good one to look at.  If not, contact your local surf shop.  There are always used boards in local shops.  If you're just starting, don't be tempted to buy any board that is smaller than about 7 foot unless you want to have a bad time learning.

A wide beach with fine sand (no rocks) works best. When the wave comes in you wait until the receding water is about an inch in depth. "Throw" your board so it skims upon the receding water. Run and jump on your board and ride the board into the oncoming surf. It takes practice and an eye to determine which waves are the right ones to ride.

Brrr... Surfing in Pugeot Sound? Sounds chilly, even in June. Sea-tac should be a good link to surfing anywhere you want to go! ;)

I live in California.  Where else can you go surfing in the morning and that same night?  You can even throw in a stop at Disneyland in between!

The best spot is Crissy Field which is right near the Golden Gate Bridge. Other nice spots are Coyote Point about 30 minutes south of the city. Candlestick Park is also really good but has a rocky launch and is only 15 minutes south of the city.  There's 3rd Ave. near Coyote.  Some people windsurf at Treasure Island but I have not.  Berkeley Marina is a good place to learn.  If you're really expert and want waves you can always go to the coast.  Wadell Creek near Santa Cruz gets windsurfers and kiters. Have seen windsurfers at Ocean Beach but not too much.  My favorite is Crissy. Just be sure you know what the tide is doing and ask for assistance from the locals.

The waves are best in the summer, the dry season - June through September - when the tradewinds blow west along the legendary Bukit Peninsula (Uluwatu, Padang Padang, etc.) \n\nHowever, that's also the most crowded time of year and you'll typically find every spot, from Kuta Beach to Uluwatu completely packed with Aussies, Brazilians, Japanese, and American surfers, all trying to lock into some of that famous Indo juice. \n\nWith that said, you can try the winter months, the wet season, when the winds blow east. Then, lesser known spots along the east side of the island, especially in places like Sanur, start to fire. However, it rains a lot and there aren't quite as many great reefs as there are on the other side. \n\nIn the past, my friends and I have tried to go in May, which is just the beginning of the dry season and tends to be much less crowded. However, we've also gotten some pretty bad weather and crummy conditions...which makes it a semi-risky proposition. \n\nMy advice would be to go in May or June, and if the crowds start to drive you mad, hit the road. There are hundreds of nearby islands, including Lombok, which are chock full of great, uncrowded surf spots. Plus, traveling is half the fun.\n\nExplore. Have fun. PULL IN!!!\n\n(Before you go, get "Indo Surf & Lingo" by Peter Neely, as well as Periplus Action Guides' "Surfing Indonesia". Both are invaluable books and can be ordered from Amazon.)

Kite Beach at Kahana Beach Park (west Maui). It is only a few minutes from Kahului Airport and no more than 45 minutes from the resort towns of Lahaina and Wailea. Kite Beach is one of the world’s best venues for kiteboarding and experiences more windy days than any other kiteboarding destination in the world. This is due to the valley between the West Maui Mountains (5788’) and Haleakala (10023’), which creates a venturi effect and funnels wind across kite beach. \n\nKite beach offers a variety of conditions to suit different riding levels. The NE tradewinds make Kite Beach a safe venue for beginners because the side onshore winds always bring the novices safely back to shore. Also, the sandy-bottom cove where beginners practice lies inside a protective reef. This reef keeps the ocean flat, which adds to the ease of learning. A little farther from shore the waves start to break at the reef, creating a great venue for intermediate and advanced kiteboarders.

I don't know if they are good surfing beaches, but Jones Beach and Robert Moses are the two most popular beaches here and if people are surfing it'll be there.  I don't think people are really into surfing here on Long Island.

There are beaches along the Chesapeake Bay at Sandy Point. Also you can cross the Bay Bridge to Ocean City, Rehoboth and Bethany Beach. Some people kayak in the Potomac River but you have to be an expert because it is very rough. Deep Creek Lake is very nice and not over run with tourists. I am sure there are other places, too. Check the Baltimore Sun or The Washington Post for recreational sites.
