More than 40 years ago at York Beach, Ogunquit, Drakes Island, Higgins Beach and any other beach or rocky point that looked like it had good waves.

These are the legends of Maine Surfing.

This web site is dedicated to these people and the ones who followed at the "River mouth" and along the rocky coast of Maine. Summer and Winter they surfed and fought the cold and snow of the icy Maine water to capture the perfection of glassy waves from the Northeastern Atlantic. Seasons changed as did the number of surfers with the seasons. Most of those above surfed year round to stay in shape and prepare for Summer Days on Maine's beautiful beaches.

Stories about Surfing in Maine were written by Journelists like Howie Martin, Bud Yallalee, in publications like DownEast Magazine, Foster's Daily Democrat, and at least once in Sports Illustrated. A full length Movie was made called "Ice in the Sun" which may now be lost for all time unless some of the promoters for this website can chase down the films original photographer.

Life in those years was simple. No major responsibilities, just the beach...and Surfing whenever we were blessed with waves.

Of course we all went in different directions. Some of us still surf and some of us don't. Regardless, whenever we can get together, the topic is the same........... Surfing Maine.
