The Surf Thing. Six days in Montauk, New York of well-curated quality events that bring good people together.

Good for people who enjoy the ocean, or at least the thought of the ocean. Join for some or all of the live concerts, special Q&A panels with some of the better surfers we know, golf, beach days, food, health & wellness sessions, surf film night, artists, brands you’ll enjoy, or just come out and say hi to the yellow dog. Several different venues over several different days.
