You need to embrace winter and flat spells but there is a variety of outdoor activities not far from your door step. There are currently a couple of west coast guys living out here that could give an unbiased opinion of New England. Click to expand... Don't know if I'm one of the guys referred to here but I've been in MA for a while and haven't surfed much. To be honest, my whole surfing life in SD had changed due to Covid crowds and I was going at out of my way to avoid crowds before I came back East. Mostly surfing closed out beach break alone at dawn. There are definitely waves here and in time I may get into more of a routine but it's really quite a drive (an hour or more) from where I am to any kind of surf. I'm also going to be going back and forth to SD starting shortly and will hopefully surf more there. There are lots of great things about living here (I have a wonderful farm across the street from my house, my kid can walk to school soon, the tap water tastes way better than in SD, the seasons change in a more meaningful way...) and you can definitely surf. But if you are super amped on living the coastal surf life without the cost and other issues I'd look internationally. |
