Watch out California– from last week's pumping surf at the Quiksilver Pro to a slew of new surf apparel companies (like our friends at Break East) popping up on the East Coast, New York is proving a serious contender for the new Surf City, U.S.A. New Yorkers know how to give back too: Join Surfrider Foundation's NYC Chapter this Thursday as they raise money to protect our oceans with hosts Kassia Meador and Mikey DeTemple running a silent auction and fundraising event. There's even a chance to win a Cynthia Rowley shopping party and a surf trip from SASS Global Travel! Boards from Faktion, Nature Shapes, Grey Ghost and Haze will be available for bidding, too.
