Thanks for the advice. The final decision will be pending surf conditions, but I'm going to try to hit Long Island if it's breaking. I'll ask specific advice on a break or two as the date gets closer.
if you're planning to surf, plan to do other fun stuff. you're taking a trip on the East Coast. it's un-rideable 70% of the time.
I dunno bro... Alls I can say by the locations you've picked you're kinda painting yourself into a corner... Montauk...next closest different direction place? England Cape Cod? See above Maine? A little more to offer, but generally ese, SE, e next closest? Nova Scotia Go where you want to visit...bring a bort in case there's swell
If you have access to a boat go to Maine. The Montauk locals, even in December, will not be throwing shakas your way.
I don't know jack about any of those areas. But I would be doing my homework on Nova Scotia. Got a passport?
Yeah, forgots aboot that. Cept for the fact that most people that don't live on either border have little use for the pass card.
lol, I know exactly what you mean. I think I only got the passport because I sent my kid on a Eurotrip a few years back so I decided to do the whole family. And I've lived on one border or the other my entire life.
