    hah I'm new to the forums as well. I've been surfing in Montauk for one year. I'm pretty decent on longboards and ok on most hybrids. I can't surf for my life on little shortboards. =D
    I just started a group on facebook, "Surfing Ditch Plains." It only has a couple of members because nobody knows about it yet. Feel free to check it out and join up.
    So RI is really good? I've heard Jersey has amazing surf. Some day I want to drive up and down the entire east coast to surf the local breaks (ok, I'm just dreaming right now, I'm not actually planning to).
    Aightt have a good one!

    o niiice. I hear ya... I've been using an 8 ft. longboard most of the summer. I just switched to a 7'6" hybrid. It's really thin and pointy like a shortboard, and it has a lot of rocker so it makes some sickkk turns. I haven't had much luck trying to duckdive with it yet, but I'm not giving up.
