Dan Jones wasn’t planning to wear a tie to work today. Instead, the managing director of mortgage sales and trading at Gleacher & Co. Securities was going to wear shorts and paddle around Manhattan standing up on an oversized surfboard.

Jones, who works with Descap, Gleacher’s mortgage and structured products division, will join about 200 other competitors, professional and amateur, in the O’Neill SEA Paddle NYC, a 26.5-mile stand-up paddle charity race.
