Quicksilver Pro is back & Under way.

Today we were greeted by Julian Wilson & his friends as we entered the event space. They had a million questions about the waves & currents. They are clearly amped to surf in NYC. It was a sunny fun filled day with many of the worlds best surfers running the streets of Long Beach NY. The waves were windblown & small but so many people were practicing in the chop for the trials coming up. That alone was quite amazings. It was an honor to interviewed by MTV for Shadows of the Same Sun & the new Fire & Water Project. Though things are scaled down, the even itself is still huge. Much of the beach front is riddled with sun bathing bodies & media asking questions. If you get a chance head down to the event area you will have fun no matter what. Enjoy it folks this doesnt come around very often.

TOTAL EVACUATION OF ROCKAWAY BEACH.

I guess we are starting the surf season with a bang. Being a Rockaway resident Ive seen some pretty wild things from crime to stories beyond regular. We've seen our share of storms 1 of which threw my BBQ grill in the nieghbors yard but this one takes the cake. But with a catogory 2 or 3 forecasted to hit the shores of our town here in Queens NYC & Long Island the Quicksilver pro has been all but dismantled for the oncoming storms. Crews were seen working hard to get everything packed up safe. We've never been asked to leave before. Hopefully we have a home to come home to come Monday morning. Check the link below.
