September signifies so much for so many of us. For many, it represents (no, don’t say it!) the end of another incredible Hamptons summer, the return to apartments or houses west of the Shinnecock Canal, the beginning of school, or a shift into a more routine form of work. But, before we shift our focus away from the heat of beach days and bonfires, there is so much to appreciate about this time of year!
Stand Up Paddling takes on a whole new aura in the clear, low light of autumn. Wildlife begins to return from its summer hiding and re-enter the ponds and waterways around the Hamptons. Ospreys, herons, swans and even seals begin to make an appearance over Georgica Pond, or in Louse Point. The quietude from the highway reverberates across the water and we find ourselves immersed in the quality of nature that drew us out here in the first place. Fall foliage and cooler weather make Stand Up Paddling adventures even more invigorating. Bonfires become a means of heat and not just a pretty sight. The smell of leaves burning…
At , we are dedicated to celebrating ALL of the seasons and encourage our friends & clientele to continue paddling, surfing, windsurfing and whatever water sports turn you on WELL into the fall and winter. If you have the dedication, we have the time, the gear and the know-how to keep you safely in the water until winter’s edge (and beyond!). So, keep us on your calendar, as we will be paddling into Gardiner’s Bay, Northwest Harbor, Sag Pond and more wearing wool sweaters, warm hats and yes, even Uggs. Don’t give up on your water sports. We’ll be out there and so should you - celebrating autumn in the best way possible, on the water in the Hamptons!
