Once Upon A Time It Was A Surf Town By PETER PAN Special to SRI Newspapers It was fifty years ago, this month, that the Narragansett Pier we grow up In the 1960’s, when the original surfing craze hit, Beach Street became the surfing at, was leveled by the bulldozers. All the local businesses, along with epicenter of the New England surfing world. Wannabes, hodads, and grem- the landlords, were paid the market value of their properties, and sent on lins from far and wide, came to hang out at the Narragansett Pier seawall, their way, under what was called “urban redevelopment.” I was working at ride the wild surf, and join the youth cultural revolution.

What once was a thriving beach town, was now a the sight and smells of the era. It was the pizza ovens at Iavazo’s, the coconut deserted main street. The owner, Ed DiTroia, was not happy about it, as were wax at the Narragansett Hobie Surf Shop, the strong puffs of incense from the other business owners who were told to pack up and leave.

The only hardware store in town was Jerry’s Paint Shop, lo-
cated on the street behind Beach, and Jerry Ferraro kept the rest of the town
in business with essentials like hammers, nails, and paint.
It all became just memories, once the cranes, bulldozers and dump trucks
came and turned everything into a big pile of demolished building scraps.
Big money came to town, the condos and tourist center was built, and the
once flourishing surf scene disappeared forever.
The highest priced condos now sit where all those small surf town busi-
nesses were, along the Beach Street sidewalk. Unless you were there during
that time period, it is hard to imagine what the town looked like.
If progress is measured by how many million-dollar houses are built, along
with no parking signs near almost all the public beach access entries, then it
certainly has been a successful 50 years in Narragansett. For the rest of us,
that remains to be seen.

new ownershipKAYAKING
DOS AND DON’TS
Kayaking is a healthy and enjoyable activity that attracts new enthusiasts all
the time. Part of what makes the sport so popular is the relative ease with which
people can get started. Kayaking requires minimal gear (kayaks can be rented if
not purchased) and no advanced skills are required. However, kayaking is not to
be taken lightly, as water sports can be unpredictable. Adhering to certain dos
and don’ts can make kayaking safer.
• DO choose the right boat. There are boats rated for kayak racing and those
that are strictly for recreational purposes. Some boats are meant for calmer
waters and others for waves and open seas.
• DON’T forget to check the weather forecast before heading out in the water.
Storms can come up relatively quickly, and offshore winds can make it challeng-
ing to paddle back to shore.
• DO let someone know where you’re going and how long you plan to be out
on the water.
• DON’T touch or get too close to wildlife, as animals can be unpredictable
and even dangerous.
• DO dress for the water temperature and not the weather outside. This helps
ensure your health if you intentionally or accidentally enter the water.
• DON’T skip wearing a life jacket/buoyancy aid.
• DO expect to get wet, even if you do not fall in. Splash up will occur from
paddles and some water will get in the boat regardless.
• DON’T forget to bring along some snacks and water.
• DO bring a fellow kayaker along. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned
professional, bringing a friend along ensures someone can go for help if you’re
involved in an accident or suffer an injury.
