SEA Paddle NYC takes to the water

Surfers plan 28-mile paddle around Manhattan to raise money for autism awareness.

Due to its incredible success at the inaugural event last year, SEA Paddle NYC will be held again this August. The weekend of events kicks off with The White Water Gala on Saturday, August 16th, followed by the 28-mile paddle around Manhattan on Monday, August 18th.

Gerry Lopez, Darrick Doerner and Joel Tudor are just some of the surf legends already confirmed to participate with Surfers' Environmental Alliance (SEA) in this year's paddle. The paddle starts on Monday, August 18th at 9 a.m. at the South Street Sea Port's Pier 1.  Participants will follow a course up the East River, through the Harlem River and down the Hudson River, finishing the grueling 28-mile course at the North Cove Marina at the World Financial Center.

The White Water Gala is a white-themed fundraiser held on an oceanfront estate in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey, with all proceeds going to autism charities and SEA.  This year's event on Saturday evening, August 16th, features live music, an open bar, catering by award-winning chef David Burke's Fromagerie, and a magical atmosphere.

There will be a silent auction with donations from local businesses, celebrities and residents.  The auction will also feature four Dick Brewer Surfboards, hand shaped by the master himself especially for SEA.  These highly collectible boards have been known to fetch tens of thousands of dollars in previous auctions.  In addition, Mr. Brewer may attend the event to personalize and oversee the auctioning of these prized boards.

See the website information regarding registration, sponsorship, donations, tickets or other participation in SEA Paddle NYC.
