Surf fans braved the rain and found friendlier waters at Alison Nelson’s Chocolate Bar at Henri Bendel last night, where they gathered for the launch of Old Soul Surfboards. Guests posed with the hand-made, vintage-inspired boards while admiring the art of She Hit Pause Studios photographer Matt Schwartz. Four lucky party goers went home with raffle prizes, including a Chocolate Bar gift set, surfing lessons from Old Soul board maker Joe Freeman, a She Hit Pause surf print, and a gift certificate to the Chocolate Bar.
