The ocean is for everyone to enjoy in a safe and respectful manner. The last few years have seen a large influx in the summer surfing scene all over New England.
Many summer towns have small children who play in or near the streets and roads.

Surfer A is nearer the shoulder and has right of way. Share waves with those waiting longest, furthest out, furthest inside closest to peak.
