TelevisionIn case you haven't noticed, each year there are more people living near the beach, more people on the beach and in the water. We all want to live on the coast. More people means less public access. Developers want to create exclusive resorts. "Exclusive" is code for "private beach." Open to only resort guests and property owners. The Texas Open Beaches Act guarantees public beach access, but developers and local politicians have found loopholes in the law to exploit. They do it a little bit at a time, so you won't notice. But over a couple of years there are fewer public access points and parking areas.
BooksSurfrider Central Long Island does alot of great stuff for Gilgo including sponsoring events, beach cleanups, and providing you that great hose and board stand. There are several events coming up soon including surf movies in the tunnel! www.surfridercli.org But we need more members in order to show our strength when we lobby the state for beach access and clean water. Student memberships are $15 and regular memberships are $25.
HeroesSpecial thank you to all other CLI members and volunteers who participate and/or donate money, time, or other services... And now... A Message From Your Chair... I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for your support in 2008. A special thanks to those who made monetary donations, raffle donations, and donations of time and talents. Surfrider Central Long Island could not exist without you. This year, we worked hard in support of the Bigger Better Bottle Bill. Though it was not passed through Congress, we are confident that the attention that was brought to this issue, along with the support rallied, will help to get the bill passed in 2009. We also forged ahead in our battle to fight the proposed LNG Island off the coast of Long Beach. We have reached out to city officials, as well as Long Beach residents, and we will continue to do so in the coming months to gain support in our fight. The Rise Above Plastics Campaign has also been on the agenda this year. We have successfully designed and created reusable shopping bags which are available for purchase by individuals or retailers. This is certainly not all we have done, rather a sampling of some of our more major campaigns. We continued our mission at the grassroots level through beach cleanups, tabling numerous events, and educational programs. The executive board looks forward to working for you and with you in 2009. We will ring in the New Year with a fundraiser at the Tiki Bar in Long Beach on Friday, January 23rd. More details to follow. Until then, have a happy holiday season, and all the best in 2009. And, as always, pray for surf.

About me:
We will ring in the New Year with a fundraiser at the Tiki Bar in Long Beach on Friday, January 23rd. More details to follow. Until then, have a happy holiday season, and all the best in 2009. And, as always, pray for surf. Central Long Island Chapter The Surfrider Foundation's Central Long Island chapter was started in April 2004, by a group of concerned local beach-goers and water sport enthusiasts. Their goal was to educate the community on issues affecting the marine environment and rally support to help protect and preserve the beauty and integrity of Long Island's beaches and its natural resources. In a short period of time, the chapter has made great strides in reaching its goals. And although we live on an island, we understand that no man is an island. We could not be where we are today without the dedication and support of countless individuals, families, and businesses. The accomplishments achieved by the Central LI chapter since 2004, include: * Numerous public and educational outreaches * Participation in community educational events * Beach clean-ups galore * Hosting public speakers * Beach adoption * Campaigns for increased beach access * Paddle outs commemorating September 11th * Fundraisers * Family fun days * TV spots and interviews regarding our coastal impact As beach-lovers, we recognize the tremendous inherent value of the world's oceans. With a strong commitment to our goals, we are confident that through community-focused efforts we will continue to foster stewardship of the environment, so that all may enjoy the wonders of the waves for many generations to come. Beach/Surf Access An Overview of Central Long Island Surf Access: Late 50s / Early 60s - Beach access was not a problem anywhere between Rockaway and Montauk. [At best count there were 2 surfers.] Mid 60s - The only access to Robert Moses State beaches was by way of ferry - out of Captree. No surfboards were allowed. The Robert Moses Bridge was not yet built. Rumor had it that surfing was permitted at Jones Beach until someone broke a leg surfing there and subsequently sued the state. That event ended surfing on state land until the 70s. Surfers accessing Democrat Point by boat ran the risk of having their board impounded by the State Police, if it washed up. And .. boards were impounded. [There were no leashes in those days.] Late 60s - Beach Buggy/Fishing Permits used to access Demo were taken away from anyone caught on the beach with a surfboard. Early 70s - Proactive efforts by a group of local surfers belonging to the ESA (Eastern Surfing Association) got the State to open up Jones Beach West End 2 for surfing during the months of December -> August. They conceded access to the fishermen during September, October and November .. knowing well these were prime surfing months. [* Still in effect today.] Late 70s - The same group that was responsible for opening West End 2, worked another 8 years seeking access to all of Robert Moses State beaches. They were successful in opening Field 3 as a Pilot Program. [* It is worth mentioning this program was jeopardized - and almost lost - due to the constant disrespect of the red flags by uneducated surfers.] Mid 80s - Town of Babylon Supervisor, Anthony Noto, moved to ban surfing at town beaches - citing beach erosion. Chain link fences were erected and signs posted 'No Surfing Permitted'. The conflict between surfers and local town government generated national interest. The grass-roots movement to re-open the beaches, combined with overwhelming support from concerned citizens, helped overturn Noto's decision and effectively ended his political career. Early 90s - After a 15-year Pilot Program at Field 3, Bernadette Castro, New York State Parks Commissioner, conditionally opened all of Robert Moses State beaches to surfing West of the red flags. Additional Facts - Since the 60s, it has been illegal to use a fishing [4 x 4] permit to access surf breaks at Hemlocks and at Democrat Point - punishable by loss of permit. Surfers of the 90s, through to present day, have enjoyed the most relaxed policing of surfing on Long Island since the mid 60s.

Most of you might know by now, but last week Bakwoods had a fire at our office. Everyone got out okay including the dogs. There was minimal damage to equipment and clothing. It could have been alot worse and for that we are thankful. For the mean time we are setting up shop elsewhere and are keeping options open as to where we go from here. We want to thank everyone that has given us a hand and the fire department for stopping the fire two minutes before our office went up in flames.
