    My hangout since 1970. I was 14 and rode my gold stingray with a belly board under my arm. About 10 miles each way. I still hit there about 40-50 times a year. At 65 I still feel young there. I love looking at the surfers and bikes. See old friends I run into. Great times.

    Lots of sting rays plant themselves in the sand, right on the shore. So make sure you move and wiggle your feet with each step. A couple people I know in Huntington, stepped on them and it wasn't pretty.

    a grovel board is usually a short board that is either thicker and shorter and wider than a actual short board. so you can catch mushier softer waves... usually it seem like that here at these beaches.

    As a regular to HB over the past 30 years, i can tell you the biggest reason for consistent swell there is also related to the age and size of the dock, which from years of existence, creates sand bars on both sides of it which accumilate after several days of northward current. Which is also why conditions will be super good after a week of northward current swells.
