I have been promoting Independent Musicians & Surf Films for over four decades and this is the very first show to ever be cancelled so I take full responsibility for its failure and cancellation.

I have no excuses but I sincerely hope that we can pull everyone together sometime in the near future.

Our audience - music, film, art, and photography lovers are the biggest losers and have missed an entertainment evening that would have long been remembered.

Now if I may throw some sarcasms and end with a compliment.

If bikers can turn an Oceanfront Community into a rumbling celebration to their passion and lifestyle than why shouldn't surfers attempt to organize and come together once a year for some genuine Summertime Fun.

I end this email with my family's sincerest THANK YOU to each of you for your willingness to help GSN with this years OBSFF event that would have been awesome and a salute to our collective creative lifestyle.

Showcasing creative talent such as each of yours always produces the very best of shows and feelings.

Ben / The Pit as always GSN and our crew thank you for your willingness to host our Festival. It has always been fun in the past so maybe for some strange reason this show wasn't meant to go on as scheduled but in the future we will Rock The Pit to a FULL HOUSE.

Until then paddle out often.

Peace,
