Attorney Michael Horn, the business attorney representing Montauk Properties LLC, which is the legal entity that bought the property announced today in a statement that Internet media mogul Michael Walrath has purchased the Surf Lodge for an undisclosed price.

Michael Walrath said, “We acquired The Surf Lodge with a vision for improving and refining the experiences for all our guests. Montauk has been an amazing culture and community and we think the Surf Lodge has an opportunity to play a vital role in the community. For me, Montauk is about family, fishing, surfing and all-around good people. I have four kids and I want them to grow up with the types of values Montauk has to offer.”
