Much has happened in the last 72 hours. A hurricane rolled through NY, a contest site got bruised and the fate of the entire event has been underneath a mess of rumor spaghetti. Quiksilver reported they were back on the ground in Long Beach “working to rebuild the surf competition and festival sites” on the 28th. Word surfaced yesterday that only the competition would run. Late last night Unsound reported the entire shebang had been called off by LB town managers. Then a whole lot more back and forth and who knows. The official news is that the competition is back on (if it was ever off).
A New Englander through and through, Drew grew up in Connecticut / New Hampshire and got over educated in Boston. He also lived on a beach in Southern California for some years. Film, photography, music and literature monopolize his time these days. Drew lives in Brooklyn, NY, eats too many cheeseburgers at the Commodore and hopes to carry on simply one day on a big piece of land by the sea without the computer or YouTube.
