Surf Talk Guru

It’s no longer a secret that the surf spot of last resort in Newport is under the bridge. Winter swells that are too big to paddle surf will bring waist-high peelers into the bay. People who surf here are generally pretty desperate for waves and some easily forget the rules of engagement.

For one, people need to follow the surf order and take turns. Visitors or longboarders who take off on every possible wave are not appreciated. But most importantly, be careful! Overzealous surfers are bound to hurt someone in such tight quarters.

Most people would rather wait for better surf on the shore than surf under the bridge, but if you’ve got a wetsuit that hasn’t been wet in awhile, just remember to follow the rules!
