Surfing sounds = Thinking of Rex living [or used to] in Staten Island, thought of how .. in the early 1970's .. we would board the Sheepsheadbay-Breezy Point Ferry and jump off ... they used to collect the fare on board but then instituted pay before to deter the crazy youth ...

Breezy Point is also known as The Irish Riviera...
