Even a near-brush by a strong storm sends bigger sets that challenge every surfer. Those who can ride larger waves know what to expect. Whether local or not they know their abilities and respect their limitations. If you’re thinking of going take a good look in the surfing mirror before paddling out. No shame in staying dry if you honestly feel you are not experienced enough to take double overheads when they pound the shoreline. In any conditions check your leash for strains or tears, attend to any dings or chips in your board and fins. After a full season’s use chances are something needs to be tightened up, nailed down or replaced. Get it done before you head out again. Of course boards are the heart of my business. If you need a new one, I got over 200 in stock to choose. Given the selection the most common question we get is “what board is right for me“? Hard one to answer. That largely depends on your style, experience, expectations and of course, budget. A more common answer is “what board works best in local conditions.” Fact is most of our waves are smallish, mushy. Very dependable but lack the raw power many surfers expect. To get the most from them you need to use a board that locks into their lower profile, harnesses the power they do have and gives you as clean a ride as possible. And man, do I have two choices that fit that bill. One is brand spanking new, straight out of the box, perfectly designed for local conditions.

Well, the actual single property winner is a beautiful oceanfront T home on Bridgehampton’s Surfside Drive. A tad under $40 million it is hard to believe any other buy could top that. Actually, if you stretch your calendar one buyer plunked down a bit more than that to scoop up a prime stretch of beach on Montauk’s Gold Coast. The three mile stretch of Old Montauk Highway that connects the village with the Montauk Highway is a pricey drive where high octane sales occur with great regularity. No wonder. The sweeping views to sea are as dramatic as any on the East End. And the sense of privacy you feel tucked into that slope is impossible to replicate. That’s why when a rare home hits the market there bidders come out of the world’s woodwork. Last fall Four Square CEO/Founder Anthony Casalena’s took the dive by buying a very nice oceanfront house at 240 Old Montauk Highway for $22 million. This spring he added two adjacent properties for another $19 million. Collectively the over $40 million invested would put it to the very top of the list over the past 12 months. No matter. When a world-class buyer scans the entire East End with the means to buy anything he wants and wants Montauk. It is just one more concrete indication that this is a very special place for those looking for a place they can very much call their own.
