SURF AID SURFBOARD BENEFIT AUCTION SAT. JAN 21, 2012
It’s rare that you can get more than a couple of the most influential surf artists together in one room at the same time – a little like herding cats!
But, Surf Aid figured out how to do it.
A Board Art Benefit event will be held January 21, 2012 at The Aaron Chang Ocean Art Gallery in Solana Beach.
Twelve unique boards, shaped and painted by some of the top living California surf artists, will be on display from 6-9pm. There will also be live, collaborative art from 12-5pm.
Funds raised will directly support SurfAid’s humanitarian efforts on the Mentawai and Nias islands in Indonesia.
The surfboard painting I did for this awesome event is called PERCESSION and it’s the first surfboard I’ve painted all the way around – so it’s different (special).
IF YOU CAN’T ATTEND but want to pre-bid on my PERCESSION surfboard (photo to the left), please email info@drewbrophy.com to make arrangements!
You can check out all the boards here …
