Tripoli Patterson
Tripoli Patterson is a pro surfer. He’s lived in Bali and New Zealand. He puts together fantastic exhibitions for artists he discovers in his travels. His tee-shirt line’s like Christopher Holland’s on acid. New York’s hipster elite love him. So too do older, more established gallery owners. Among the east end’s young wave riders, he is God. And he is only 24.

Don’t Speed On New York

[Shelter Island Yacht Club]

On my way to the Shelter Island Yacht Club, where I would prepare for Round Two in the 505, I got pulled over.  I had no idea I was speeding, nor that the speed limit was 25.  I haven’t been pulled over since college, and have to tell you that it felt adequately as painful.  I was in my swimsuit, no liscense and not in my own car.  I have a summons on the 25th….Later on, I heard from some locals at the club that New York Street (the street I was on) is notorious for speed traps. Perfect. Now, not only am I a gas-guzzling SUV driver, I’m a speeder to boot, and I’m willing to take any comments you feel are needed to put me in my place.
