For the local surf community, hurricanes and other storms provoking surging swells are often a welcome opportunity. But Sandy was a beast of a different breed, ravaging coastlines and destroying beaches, changing the sand bars and jetties and breaks, and with them the lives and livelihoods of NYC boarders long and short. This Sunday, brush off the holiday market fatigue and soak up some winter stoke while supporting local surf-gear merchants at the Brooklyn Surf Flea Holiday Bazaar.
Whether you’re a goofy footer, love one, or just dig the Endless Summer vibe, stop by the languid Picture Farm Gallery space from 2-8pm and shop local while enjoying drink specials, tunes, and surf flicks. Ten percent of all proceeds will be donated to Sandy relief efforts.
Sponsored by NYC Urchin and Ohlas, BkSF Holiday Bazaar follows the inaugural Surf Flea at Union Pool back in September, and will feature even more local surfing community businesses including:
