I admit to never, ever trying to surf. In fact I love the beach, but rarely go swimming in the ocean unless it's super hot and that's after I already looked for the closest outdoor shower. And the only name from the surf industry that would make me think twice is Kelly Slater. But I was never one to shy away from watching sexy guys riding waves, or a chance to shop the latest Quiksilver collections. So when I heard that the Quiksilver Pro surfing event was coming to NY and was going to be held in our very own city of Long Beach I was...well...curious. For me enthusiasm is highly contagious, and it didn't take much time before I was riding the wave (get it?) of excitement that was pulsing all over town. I mean come on- we heard A-Rod & Cameron rented a place down here to catch all the happenings. My spirits did come crashing down when the Long Beach bigwigs announced the cancellation of the festival portion at the last minute. Bummer. I was really looking forward to the bands that were lined up, esp Matt & Kim, Flaming Lips, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and Taking Back Sunday. Feel free to judge me. Anyways, the finals are tomorrow morning so my man and I headed down to the beach to check out the current situation. Excitement was in the air! Surfers and camera crews were out in full effect. The Quiksilver/Roxy boardwalk shop was packed with goodies. Plus the sky was just looking so darn pretty. I do love this city of mine.
