| Montauk NY Kayaking - Beach Break Surf 2009 |
Top photo (above) is me launching from the beach in front of the
Wavecrest Motel June 2009 - typical dumpers right at the shoreline - gotta be quick to get in and out. I remember big-air on the backside. I modified the photo with some type of microsoft windows effect to accent the water.
Taught myself to roll in the warm waters of Lake Montauk in '96 or '97. Still try to paddle out there annually. Used to be a guy named Billy (I think) who sold Impex Kayaks in Montauk in the late 90's but no longer - I suspect the
Impex "Montauk" kayak (Romany-like boat) which I saw first in his shop may have been made especially for him. One of his kayaks hung for years on the front of
Cyril's Bar on Montauk Highway. Not a lot of kayakers in Montauk due to exposed coast. If you stay in a hotel, ask if they have a loaner Town Parking Pass to avoid getting a $125 ticket (most expensive launch-site scouting walk I ever took one time...).
