I use a few resources in my time surfing, thought some of this was useful to put down. Actually I don’t care, this is like glorfied bookmarking for me.

Top Marinas:
I have 2 boats, and they need to be kept in Marinas year round. These are my faves in North America, I’ll find and add their websites soon.
- Dog River Marina
- Harbour Town Yacht Basin
- Haven Harbour Marina
- Hawks Cay Resort & Marina
- Kingman Yacht Center
Oh and Dockwa is bloody useful too for finding cool, cheap Marinas.
Marine Biology Resources:
Since I love surfing – my time is spent in and around oceans. Naturally I developed a love for the creatures of the ocean. If you’re into understanding more about this wildlife, like I am – here’s my top resources for getting started on that journey too.
- Authority Aquarium – great fish magazine/review/aquarium/marine biology website. I like to keep fish ok – stop judging.
- Reef2Reef – great forum to ask questions and get started fish keeping. I have 100+ posts on this thing and people are so fucking helpful.
Peace,
Jake.
