Waterford Officials Evaluating Beach Rules on Boogie and Skim Boards

WATERFORD, CT- After purchasing a formerly private beach a couple years ago, town officials have been evaluating what the ruling should be on using recreational boards there, The Day reported.

Boogie, surf and skim boards are not permitted at the Waterford Beach as they are considered dangerous by city officials, The Day reported. Yet since the town’s purchase of Pleasure Beach became official last year, a private beach where many would use their boards, beach guests have really no place to use them now.
