Surfing is a popular sport on Nantucket, and the island hosts several good spots, mostly on the south side (although the best ones are kept secret by the locals!). Madaket, Cisco, Surfside, Madaquesham and Nobadeer offer good surfable sand breaks.

Christian at NantucketSurfari, 1 Essex Rd, offers hourly lessons or packages for all levels. All equipment, from wetsuits to surfboards, is provided. Pick-up at the yacht upon request.
