Video- East Gloucester Elementary Flash Mob From Martin DelVecchio

Martin writes-

My wife Michele decided to mix things up at this year’s end-of-year picnic at East Gloucester Elementary School.

Add in some calypso by Harry Belafonte, choreography by Sarah Slifer Swift, and videography by Jason Grow, and here are the results.

Enjoy!

Over the past few years there has been a rise in surfing, and now stand up paddle (SUP)  in New England  and two local surfers, Collin Goodrow and David Stowell, co-founders of The New England Surf Company (NESC), saw it as a chance to create surf apparel and accessories exclusive to the New England coldwater surfing experience.  The co-founders, forever loyal to the unique surf community, culture, and local history, stay true to their maritime roots when creating NESC designs, like the popular Surf Co block print design. 

Recently, NESC started a Brand Ambassador program to foster a love for New England surfing and other water sports.   They’ve recruited New England standouts in the surf and SUP surf categories as a way to connect with the community and promote surf protection-activism.

Another way NESC strives to make a local and meaningful impact is through their “Go Blue” initiative.

“GO BLUE” with the simply stated motto “Save Our Waves,” helps raise awareness and support other organizations that are making a positive difference in the local economy, communities, and environment.  NESC dedicates a portion of sale proceeds of the GO BLUE t-shirts and bracelets to organizations that work to save our oceans, beaches and waves.

NESC designs and products are being picked up, sold and displayed in more surf shops throughout New England every day including SURFARI SUP in Manchester-by-the-Sea, the Gloucester House General Store in Gloucester MA, Ocean House Surf Shop in Swampscott MA, or Cinnamon Rainbows located in Hampton NH, where you can find your next favorite NESC t-shirt, sweatshirt or beanie with ease.

If your local shop is sold out, no worries the NESC online store gives you immediate access to NESC products. NESC guarantees to keep you stoked and connected with America’s “original” north shore and the regions truly unique surfing experience. Check out the New England Surf Company today at www.newenglandsurfco.com  facebook and twitter and be sure to tell a friend! And if you’re interested in getting involved in representing the brand through our Amabassador program get in touch we’re always on the lookout for new team talent and help spread the stoke!

Annual fiesta beer pong tournament

Hi Joey my name is Tony and Ive followed gmg for a few years and think the site is great! I know your always interested in fun and obscure events so I think this one would be up your alley. For the past 6 years myself and a bunch of my friends have be playing on our 91cup vs 91 cup beer pong tourney for fiesta. It’s a blast and the amount of pong cups that are in the tables are absurd! 182 cups!

Anyway we usually do this on the Saturday of fiesta but since we are all in our early 30’s weddings children ect have caused us to change it to August 3rd this year. . I’ll send a few pictures of the event as well. Enjoy the rest of fiesta and keep up the kick ass work on the site.
Thanks,
Tony


Joey:

Can you post this with a notation that the first 100 runners receive a free tee shirt.

Thanks,

Thomas M. Lattof
