Surfers know the joy — and fury — of the sea.
On Thanksgiving Day, a Long Island surfers’ group plans a safe and joyous environment for residents of Long Beach. The barrier island city was inundated by storm surge during Sandy.
Surf For All is turning the famous Long Beach Ice Arena into the city’s largest dining room for a Thanksgiving feast for more than 100 people.
Cliff Skudin, a third-generation surf instructor, put it this way: “Many of our neighbors are flailing as a result of the storm. This is not an ocean rescue, it’s a spiritual rescue.”
About 35,000 people live on Long Beach.
The rink was once a training facility for the New York Rangers.
