Long Island is for SurfersI spent the weekend out in Mastic Beach. The first weekend of many to come. Hopefully, some weeks too. I have been spending more and more time out there the last few years and when a friend decided to abandon his place for the summer, we pounced. Mastic Beach offers a ton of amenities not usually found so far out East. My big gripe with renting a summer Long Island place, or even visiting friends out in the Hampton/Amaghansett/Montauk bog, is the time it takes to get there, the untantalizing trendy crowds and the sense that one really isn't getting away from anything. Mastic is pretty different. A stone's throw from those harried locales, it is laid back, unassuming and just this side of the maddening crush. Throw in some very good surf when it's firing, a beautiful stretch of beach for a paddle when it's not and some needed visual beauty and quiet, and you have a town that is a hidden gem. Hopefully I can luck into some goodish summer surf and make a film about the whole thing.

Thanks Bill, I have realized that while we make it out there to California nearly every chance we get, it's always in the confines of family. A wonderful thing, but when that's your only vacation, well, you never really rest.
