Field 6 at Jones Beach was always our favorite spot. Years later, I moved out a little further on Long Island and Robert Moses State Park is the place now. Been surfing there for years. The last few weeks were great since we had waves every day with clean, clear and warm water. Field 6 fills up fast on the weekends. Glad you enjoyed it. Never surfed St. Maarten yet. Just bodysurfing when it gets big at Mullet.
