Long Island Surf
The Long Island Surf were a nomadic but durable minor league basketball operation that wandered through various high school and collegiate small gymnasiums on the Island between 1991 and 2001. The Surf were part of the United States Basketball League, a primarily Eastern Seaboard circuit that played 20-30 game schedules from May to July each year. Future New York Knicks star Anthony Mason played for the Surf during the team’s debut season in 1991.
