Surf camps in north east (USA)?

Question

does any one know of any good surf camps in the north east area preferably sleep away or not it doesnt matter?

Answer 1

Maybe in Rhodie if your lucky, but none of the major camp providers (Billabong, Quiksilver) dont really care about the northeast.  Maybe if you check with the ESA(easternsurfingasociation) they might have something.

Answer 2

There is no (sleep away) surf camp in the northeast, the only place you'd find something like that is going on a chartered surf trip, which sucks because the places they go are always crowded. Depends where in the northeast. A lot of surf shops have people who give lessons, usually by the hour. You'd have to be a little more specific of where. In East Hampton there's a day camp which does surfing, mountainbiking, wakeboarding, etc. Its mostly surfing, you just do the other stuff when the waves suck. (www.mainbeach.com). Other than that, I don't know of any place. Your best bet is to get lessons from a surf shop, there's not many surf camps.

Answer 3

There are dozens (hundreds?) of places to learn surfing in the northeast.I don't know if any of the "camps" that i see advertised are residential. Don't forget, it costs over a thousand bucks or more a week to rent a beach house in any northeast town that I know. Enough land, or a big enough facility for a residential camp might be a long shot.

Start at a surf shop, and ask there. Go to a real surf shop, not a bathing suit store that sells some surfboards. The folks there will hook you up with lessons (either individual or group) and even rent you a board if one isn't provided with the lessons. Real surf shops are great places, with lots of knowledgeable surfers to help you out. You can try on line, but face to face is the best way to do business
