Any1 Skim in Connecticut?

[mkm]

Im going to be attending college in connecticut(i leave on sept 2nd)
and was wondering if there were any waves or skim there at all, basically to see if there was a point to me bringing my board. So if any1 has been there or lives there and could tell me how it is, thatd be great.

No waves in CT, and skimming isn't allowed at some beaches, but there are some sandbars that are fun. May aswell bring your board, could make trips to long island or something for skim.

East Beach is literally just over the CT/RI border, which is quite good.

I'm from CT, where are you going to school?

I skim at east beach which is a little over an hour from my place in new haven. Bring your board, you never know. like mentioned above, there are no waves, but sand bars, so there is always inland skimming.

Jones beach long island is also just over an hour from me.

yeah jones beach is alright but its mega crowded, and its no much more then taking the ferry from bridgeport then take william floyd parkway all the way down, it'll bring you to smithspoint, im always there skimming although the ferry might become expensive

HxC? shot in the dark: do you know from bliss to devastation?

the ferry is about an hour ride from bridgeport to port jeff, then to get to william floyd from port jeff aboutt 15, then a 25 minutes to half and hour drive to smiths point, and yes ive heard of them, but never seen them live haha

i've got friends from Oceanside, a couple of them play in some hardcore bands. Im good friends with the guitarist of fbtd, great kid, good surfer and snowboarder. Hopefully I can make it out to LI to skim soon i think ill check out smiths point

[LI HxC]

its usually not that bad, today was alright, took awhile to find some decent waves, yesterday was actually really good, i never really hang out that far west but i try to get to a few shows when some good bands are playing

[mkm]

im going to Sacred Heart University, and im from Long Island so i skim at Tobay Beach(same beach as Jones Beach but its private which means its a lot less crowded)

But yea i guess i might as well bring it along.

[mkm]

hey, li hxc do you go to jones or tobay beach

[LI HxC]

nahh, if i had my own car i definatly would, but im stuck out further east for the next 7 months

[vicskimct]

sacred heart, your right near me.
ill be skimming RI and LI at least once a week if you ever want to meet up or car pool.

you know Tom Flynn?

[mkm]

nahh dont know him....im going to be a freshman, so i cant have a car on campus..but i'd deff be interested in comming down to LI with you guys

[LI HxC]

well if you ever make it to smiths point man ill be there with the blue and white zap

[mkm]

:( doesnt look like im gonna have to worry about skimming any time soon....
stepped on a peice of glass at the beach skimming today, and now i have stitches on the bottom of my foot

this sucks

[LI HxC]

that blows man, a few weeks ago my foot slipped off my board and a peice of rock went intomy foot it sucked man, i still have a sort of hole on the bottom of my foot

[vicskimct]

thats terrible. hope it heals soon.

theres a place in madison if theres a nice storm but other than that theres nothing really

[vicskimct]

most places are skimmable during a storm or high winds. Choppy though, but rideable. The best sess I had all summer was at my local beach during an off shore storm. Fall is the best, cold, but a spring suit or 2mm top will cut it.
