MY O’NEILL FLANNEL IS A SOCIALITE…

On a recent trip up to NYC chasing the swell from Tropical Storm Ida, I stayed in Brooklyn with my good friends Todd and Megan DiCiurcio… Todd is a very amazing artist specializing in still life portraiture and is very well know in the fine arts community, meaning I could never afford one of his canvases no matter how bad I want one… His wife Megan works for Dolce & Gabana and between the 2 of them I find myself in many random ass parties that there is no way I should be attending… So I try to blend in and take advantage of the open bar and food while brushing shoulders with all kinds of humans that before were just pictures on a screen… Which leaves us at this photo… This is me on the right trying to not be in the way of the camera while Daniel Day-Lewis and wife Rebecca Miler show face at the party… In hindsight I should of just jumped in there like the guy on the left and threw up a big old thumbs up… Maybe next time…

The surf was incredible and worth the last minute travel. I put together a short video diary of the trip but im waiting for the surf footage from Nate Lee who was up there shooting with Benny B so I can piece it all together and post it up here… Ida was the perfect storm to do a episode of The Hunt but do to lack of funding for the project I had to just do a solo trip to get some surf (which Im not mad about)…
