Yes. Everyone should move to NYC. I hear it's goin off there Like Nias. With broadway shows.

and the super models surf with 4" spike heels!

It is way cooler in NYC.

A world-class break, Turtles; for this old salt, the best break in NY and among the top five in the Northeast US. I feel very fortunate to have chased and surfed many a hurricane swell there and at other nearby spots in Montauk. All memorable sessions. The most memorable--albeit for absolutely all the wrong reasons--took place one Tuesday morning, about twelve years ago. I decided it was a Definite Go that Monday afternoon, after having meticulously tracked Hurricane Erin over the weekend and throughout the day. I reorganized my work schedule and told my assistant I would be out the next day. It was still dark when I left the Upper West Side of Manhattan. By the time I paddled into my first wave, American Airlines Flight 11 had struck the North Tower.
