Mark Cunningham @ Pilgrim


The lucky thing about being a surfer (as it is so oft pointed out) is that our living legends are just that.  Consummate waterman (a "waterman" being a guy or gal ((I guess that would be "waterwoman")) who is good at everything watery from lifesaving to fishing to diving to body surfing, and etc ((for those that don't know))) Mark Cunningham is one extant example of that rare convergence.  He will be fresh off the plane form Hawaii in the coming week and Friday night will be at Pilgrim for a special screening of the film Hell or High Water.  A very large dose of respect is in order.

Yes Justin, looks like Thursday night have an opening of an exhibit of Mark's reef finds at Partners & Spade. And there are rumblings of a Montauk presentation of Hell & High Water on Sunday.
