In June of 2003 the first surf cam was launched on Nantasket Beach in Hull, Massachusetts. That same year the second surf cam was launched in Newport Rhode Island on First Beach. Ronnie Lees would spend the next three years driving from New Jersey to Maine promoting the website and surfing with locals. In 2003 the forecast area and surf reports areas were added. In 2004 Northeast Surfing School was started. Surf Lessons were given at Nantasket Beach in Hull, Massachusetts out of the Northeast Surfing Truck.
As Northeast Surfing became popular and well known it was time to grow. In 2006 an investor was brought into the company and Northeast Surfing LLC was started. That same year the In 2006 "Mulligans Island Root Beer" Company upgraded the Newport Cam for ad space. Northeast Surfing upgraded the Nantasket Beach Hull Surf Cam and moved the cam to Barefoot Bob's on Nantasket Beach.
