New York Ether
Australian film-maker, photo journalist and musician Andrew Kidman has been lurking in the New York area since late September enjoying the unusually good waves and hopefully not writing any more pieces about the Island. He's had tacos at the Tiki Bar, escarole soup and Grandma slices in a booth at Gino's, eaten the Laurel's bacon and slept in Island Park. Andrew has even been caught spreading local NY gossip so watch what you say to him.
Standing Here with My Brother
On Saturday, November 14th, The Tommy Brull Foundation will host its 2nd Annual Fundraiser to benefit at Cannon's Blackthorn in Rockville Centre. Tommy Brull was a local surfer who passed away almost ten years ago in a tragic accident and the foundation, which bears his name, aims to provide direct assistance to individuals with mental, physical or emotional challenges in our broader community (Nassau and Suffolk).
UnsOund Pro 2009 Highlights
The 2009 Unsound Pro finished up on Sunday afternoon in an increasing SE swell provided by an approaching cold front. The surf on the final day of competition slowly grew throughout the day, culminating in waist to shoulder high waves at Lincoln Blvd., in Long Beach, NY. While the surf did not quite match the quality of the past few years, it was big enough to provide the local community with some exciting surfing action.

Picking up from last year’s egg hunt, here’s another dozen that won’t stink up your living... [Read more of this entry]
Shave Ice
Last week’s arctic blast groomed a nice south swell recession session for those free to go. Those hanging on to their jobs probably weren’t very productive. Designated driver Mike Rovnyak stood behind the lens and dealt with the wind chill while familiar faces got covered up on what was arguably the coldest day of the winter. Scroll through...

Surf, Snow and Cinema by the Slice
Reports of the best day in months (today, photo left) was not at all comforting while downing candy coffee in between fire drills this afternoon. It may be time to find a new job that is a little more surf friendly, though in this economy they say beggars can’t be chooses. Still, as good as it may have been, a 19 degree surf session may need to... [Read more of this entry]
