The Peconic Puffin

A blog about a group of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts, and their friends. Established 1993.

9d2cdbee46f27e7b RIFF, the Reykjavik International Film Festival, is Iceland's number one film event.   They say they are, so it could be true.  Certainly they're the tops with us at the Peconic Puffin, because RIFF's grand prize is…

The Golden Puffin!

How cool is that?

There are puffins all over the RIFF website…some appear to be silver…and there's a giant (well, man-sized) golden silhouette of a puffin.  Puffin puffin puffin!  Works for us.

(Director Jim Jarmusch displays classic puffin affection as he gnaws lovingly on the skull of a golden bird.  A big shout-out to Jennifer for netting this unusual bit of puffinry!)

    I don’t think that Jim has ever seen a puffin with a mouth full of sand eels.

    Lord T- I’ve seen that blog before…even eyed those puffin hats! But I’m troubled by the author’s psychological distance from the puffin. I say to him: Be the Puffin. Such are my aspirations.
    Buddha Mike- No doubt you’re right. Bring the eels!
