Hamptons Recreation.Out for an early morning walk, my attention was caught by loud music coming from Havens Beach on Saturday, May 18th,people were Paddle Boarding at Haven Beach. If you’ve never paddle boarded, I hear it’s great fun and the people paddle boarding looked like they were having a whale of a time! You may want to have a look for an electric pump for paddle boards before you start, but apart from that, there’s no reason why you can’t get into paddle boarding yourself. One of my friends from Germany is a keen paddle boarder and even has her own sup board. They look like so much fun! I tried to do my yoga and focus on peace and tranquility, but the activity distracted me so I jogged along the water to see what was happening. It was a nice surprise to find groups of people lining up their paddle boards for the Paddle Race for the Baykeeper. I couldn’t resist hanging around until the start, as paddle boarding is a new found hobby of mine. Some were embarking on a 3 mile recreation race; others would loop around twice for a 6 mile elite race set on a course marked by orange buoys around beautiful Northwest Harbor. It is also great to know that after 27 years of talking about it, Sag Harbor Village has agreed to finally complete the clean up of the Havens Beach drainage ditch. The Peconic Baykeeper has been leading this fight for a long time. Work should be done this summer.

Paddle boarding is a fantastic sport, every morning you will see many out and about at Haven’s beach this summer on their paddle boards.
