Surfing mission gear list?

on fearing of loosing the only half decent ranged weapon there...
why would a crossbow be acceptable beach equipment?
i could imagine a harpoon gun. but a crossbow on a beach? why...?

Well, crossbow fishing is a thing.

how about throwing knifes though.
they could be useful and not too obvious there...

Debatable. One could argue either way, so I went with no.

Why any weapon restrictions? It's pretty bizarre and suspicious for my group of surfer dudes to have tasers and machetes, in some ways that's MORE suspicious than having a gun. And it's not as if there's actually any stealth or subterfuge in the mission itself, there's guys with SMG's and grenades opening fire on the beach house from the word go.

depends. on a texas beach guns should be fine... 
the stealth part is before the mission starts. actually getting to the bad guys without them noticing you and running...
the restrictions are hard though. there´s no armor at all and hardly anything usable at range.
but there´s so many ways to hide a gun when going to the beach...
ever heard someone say "is that a sawed off shotgun or are you just happy to see me?"

Is the enemy AI different for this mission? On several occasions it seemed like the enemy barely ever shot at my units.

No, there is no such thing as a different AI in X-Com. There is only one AI.
You can only manipulate aggression and intelligence.

Ranged tasers are illegal almost everywhere, even in most places where guns are not.

Apparently they're only illegal if they exceed 10mA.

I have found that using dogs as agents works well on surfing missions. I take two agents armed with Dart rifles and two or three dogs. I keep the agents safe while my dogs search buildings and kill the Enemy. Then my agents move in and take the weapons. Have the dogs work as a pack though. Dont have them running around on their own. This tactic also works well in the early game against sectoids when assaulting their craft. A pack of dogs can kill the entire crew in no time

Yep, teamwork! Essential for any mission.
