In addition, the Thursday night before the festival starts, George Greenough blessed us with permission to screen the groundbreaking classic Innermost Limits of Pure Fun(1969) which will surely blow your mind on the big screen.

"WAX is a bi-annual print publication exploring the intersection of art,
culture and surfing in and around New York City. We believe that beauty and
meaning can be found on sidewalks, boardwalks, skyscrapers and beaches
alike. We¹re interested in exploring the rich history of New York surfing,
its beaches and residents and in finding a pathway of cultural creativity on
and off the break. WAX will share the stories of area surfers who are also
artists, designers, authors and auteurs. Each issue is organized around a
unique theme, debuting with Issue #1: Dialogues in Spring 2012."

I love people who make things with their hands. Here is a shoot out to the very talented Lisa Hetman at swell-stuff.com The lovely ladies at Swell Stuff are responsible for the sewing of our handles for *enjoy handplanes and keeping the rest of our community in leakless wetsuits. They also make some amazing handmade beenies and pillows. Go Lisa! Thank you for supporting us and making swell stuff!

New piece by local artist Cheryl Sorg titled The Sea, 29" x 24", paper with acid-free adhesive on engineering vellum.

Cheryl uses clipping from magazines and books to make her work.

This original collaged piece is an homage to her two loves - literature and the sea - and the connection between the two. There is much beautiful blue ocean imagery, as well as snippets of poetry and literary titles from works whose themes revolve around the sea.

You can buy it at:
