Surfing is not swimming. At least that is what the East Hampton (NY) Town Justice Court decided recently after eight surfers beat charges of violating a section of the State of New York Official Compilation of Codes, Rules, and Regulations, while surfing on the north side of Montauk Point, known as the North Bar.
The statute prohibits “swimming, diving, bathing, or wading in swimming pools or other waters or walking upon the frozen surface thereof” on state park property and when Kenneth Angiulo, Brian Luckey, Paul Biedrzycki, Christopher Greene, William Lucey, Brad McGill, David Providenti, and Jeffrey Pressman paddled out for a surf on August 25th an officer charged them with the violation.
