The first sets of pictures from this weekend's wild Saturdays Surf 1-year anniversary party are rolling in and they look pretty awesome, if we do say so ourselves. These shots come from FOK (Friend of Kanon) and filmmaker/writer Jauretsi Saizarbitoria, who was on hand during the event snapping away for the Saturdays boys.
The party started out at the Saturdays surf shop/coffee shop in SoHo where a bus picked up a load of guests to transport them out to our Southampton house where they were greeted with leis and coconuts filled with potent Kanon Organic Vodka cocktails--a perfect beginning that culminated six hours later in a sunset conga line around the pool set to Beetlejuice's "Jump in Line" led by Saturdays partner Josh Rosen, who was fist-pumping bottles of Kanon in the air against the backdrop of a huge outdoor film screen playing classic surf movie Endless Summer. Sound awesome? It was.
Jauretsi does a darn good job capturing the best moments of the day, including the impromptu diving contest that happened, with each diving trick better than the next. The Saturdays guys actually started surfing boogie boards off the diving board at one point, a spectacle that was accompanied by cheering and howling coming from a group of hot, bikini-clad babes sitting around the pool. Remind us to save that in our bag of tricks.
All in all, it was an epic good time--the drinks were flowing, dancing was nonstop, and the collective of DJs, Chances with Wolves, played an impeccable set of rare gems. Ricky Powell even joined the party, holding court by the pool all afternoon, entertaining guests like Elizabeth Spirodakis from White Lightning and Mikey Palms, owner of South Paw, with stories about old New York.
It doesn't get much better than that.
P.S. Stay tuned for more FOK guest posts from White Lightning, Colin from Saturdays Surf, Shaun Hartas with model Jessica Hart, and more.
