New York, NY [August 6, 2008] – The 2008 New York Surf Film Festival presented by JetBlue Airways is pleased to announce a special 30th Anniversary screening of BIG WEDNESDAY (1978) at Tribeca Cinemas.  Warner Brothers’ California surf classic, directed by John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Conan the Barbarian) and co-written with Denny Aaberg, is loosely based off their own experiences at Malibu and a short story Aaberg had published in Surfer Magazine entitled ‘No Pants Mance.’ The film follows three friends, the straight-laced and responsible Jack Barlowe (William Katt), party maestro and hot surfer Matt Johnson (Jan Michael Vincent) and the up-for-anything Leroy ‘the Masochist’ (Gary Busey), as they transition from adolescents to adults and how their relationships change with surfing, as well as with each other. The film takes place over the course of twelve years (1961-1974) and set to the backdrop of classic 60’s Malibu point surf, trips to Baja, beer-infused parties, the Vietnam War, introduction of psychedelic drugs and the shortboard revolution. The characters, informed by bad politics and equipment change, eventually drift apart; Jack goes to Vietnam, Leroy goes to Hawaii and Matt gets married.  Even their surfboard shaper and mentor Bear has gotten married and moved inland.  However, the trio reunites for the films climax, the great ‘Swell of 74,’ that cleanses everything that came before it and defines what they’ve become. The cult classic’s gorgeously filmed surf sequences are credited to legendary cameramen Dan Merkel, George Greenough (Inner Most Limits of Pure Fun, Echoes), George MacGillivray (Five Summer Stories) and pioneer surf film maker Bud Browne (Hawaiian Surfing Movies, Cavalcade of Surf). The NYSFF 2008 submission deadline is now closed.  Official Festival Selections and ticket sales will be announced Mid-August. About the New York Surf Film Festival The New York Surf Film Festival [NYSFF] will be held September 26-28, 2008 at Tribeca Cinemas in Lower Manhattan.  The event consists of three days of independent short and feature films, cult classics, and world premieres from established surf filmmakers.

I know the audio situation was a major letdown, but sometimes Murphy’s law prevails and our mixer ended up getting fried. We’re sorry about that, but the good news is we will be re-showing the video again soon in both NY and NJ along with other current vids.

One of the most anticipated and talked about bodyboarding videos of the year comes to New York! Saturday, March 15 at KION, the ROAM bodyboarding video premiere party kicks off at 8 pm and will likely go late into the night. Epic times are guaranteed so don’t blow it! More information including directions to follow, but KION is located at 509 East 6th St. b/w a and b in Manhattan’s East Village.  It is a short walk from the L train @ 1st ave, and from the F train at 2nd ave. The head chef is good friend and fellow bodyboarder “Plancha” aka Miguel Aguilar who has been nice enough to hook it up, so both over and under crowds are more than welcome to join us and hang ALL night. Free sushi and ceviche appetizers is worth the price of admission alone! Wait, it’s FREE! Come one come all, first showing begins at 8 pm!

Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

Unfortunately, what has been proposed by the Atlantic Sea Island Group (ASIG) here in NY is a fixed MEGA-ISLAND storing and transporting Liquid Natural Gas (LNG). 4 Holding Tanks each holding 6,356,640 cubic feet of LNG to be placed on this structure. 13 miles off of New York and 19 miles off of New Jersey.This mega-island will be right outside the harbor of NY. The materials they wish to use are to DREDGE nearby waterways. One can only imagine the contaminated content of this sediment. A sub-sea pipeline would be added that would transport the natural gas to an offshore connection with the transcontinental gas pipeline corporation’s pipeline.

Warmly,
