The Hedge Fund Surf Club

Plus: The Palm Beach chauffeur illusion, Hermes sample sale invites are out, Chanel’s Blazy frenzy in Paris, Lauren Santo Domingo’s ashtray birthday cake, and the new AI baby billionaire

Today, we’re talking about how surf forums have been trading whispers for years about a mysterious wave pool somewhere in the Northeast used by a very particular type of surfer (the kind who wears a fleece vest to the office and prefers his hobbies to come with nine-figure infrastructure).

And in Palm Beach County, appearances matter, which is why a single phone number operates as both a run-of-the-mill taxi company and a black-car service. If you know the password, the ride suddenly looks a lot less like a taxi and a lot more like a chauffeur on retainer. (Maybe I should try it this weekend when I’m there. Although at the moment I’m slightly concerned about even getting there. The forecast looks rough and I’m not entirely convinced my flight will even make it. Not a good weekend to be heading to Florida, even if the cold front is coming back to New York).

We’ve also got a lot of good stuff in the round-up today (and I appreciate all the subscriber submissions, so please keep sending those in). Hermès sample sale invites are out (are you on the list? A few details below). Plus details about the Blazy mania (including the ones you can only find on the toilet bowl that is Twitter), Lauren Santo Domingo’s birthday cake and Forbes scaring us yet again by talking about how Generation Z is getting rich on AI while the rest of us trying to figure out the settings on our iPhones.

And if you’re in New York enjoy the weather. While we still got it.
