For those who crave adventure of the aquatic kind, prepare for some wet and wild fun on Long Island’s east end waters.
Based in Southold, Peconic Water Sports was started in 2012 by Joey Flotteron, a native Long Islander and seasoned water sports enthusiast who has been professionally coaching others in these activities since 2007. He is one of a team of experienced water sports participants who provide instruction and convey their love of the recreation to all who sign on for a session of soaks, splashes and water-inspired excitement.
Peconic Water Sports offers a variety of action-packed water fun from their fully outfitted wakeboard boats. Tubing enables three people to ride the waves by doing little more than holding on to a single large tube. Those who are ready for something that requires a bit more skill can try waterskiing, wakesurfing or wakeboarding. The boat picks up adventure seekers at any of three locations in Southold, Sag Harbor and Shelter Island. Kiteboarding, one of the latest popular extreme water sports that combines the thrills of paragliding, wakeboarding and windsurfing into one adrenaline-packed activity, is now available at Peconic Water Sports, complete with hands-on lessons for beginners as well for those of the intermediate and advanced skill sets.
Jet ski tours enable invigorating marine cruising through the waters surrounding Shelter Island, Paradise Point and Orient Point. For a great workout on the sun-kissed waters of Southold Bay, consider renting everything you need for an afternoon of stand up paddling. Lessons in stand up paddling are available to get you started. Learn to incorporate the relaxation techniques of yoga for the ultimate mind and body exercise in the serene surroundings of the sun’s warming rays from above and the glistening waters below.
Charter boats are available to transport day trippers to Sunset Beach in the Hamptons for an afternoon of sun worshipping and dining. New for 2015 is Peconic Waters Sports’ Boston Whaler fishing boat, which can be chartered for a fishing expedition. Teeming with striped bass, bluefish and other specimens, the east end’s waters and the expertise of the boat’s fisherman will ensure that you will go home with dinner’s starring entrée. Those who crave an afternoon of Long Island’s boating culture without the hassles of boat ownership and maintenance can charter a boat for 10 hours and soak in the quintessential essence of the coastal summer season.
If you think that extreme water sports toys are only for the big girls and boys, think again. Kids between the ages of 6 and 15 can enjoy the opportunity to surpass the grownups in their water sports skills at the Peconic Waters Sports day camp program. Alternately, the kids can opt for the fishing camp and learn all of the finer points of fishing. Experience is not a requisite for registration with either camp. The kids will bask in the sense of accomplishment when they conclude the camp with a whole new set of learned recreational skills.
Summer recreation conjures images that are not complete without a balanced dose of cooling water and warming sunshine. Add in some adrenaline-pumping excitement and an afternoon of summer fun is complete.
