Liquid Salt Collaboration Supports SurfersHealing.org



A while back we thought it would be fun to collaborate with some of the people we know and respect in our surf community to do a program that we could have fun with as well as have an opportunity to give back to some of the organizations we feel need our support.

What we came up with was a Collaboration Program where we pick one of our heros in the surf world and collaborate with them to design a model that will give a bit back to a charity of their choice.

Our first collaboration is with Glenn Sakamoto of  Liquid Salt Magazine. For those of you familiar with Liquid Salt you know Glenn as the brains and talent behind the interviews of the surf world's elite.


We didn't know Glenn that well so we approached him to see if he would be into it. Turned out he was already a fan of our work so he was stoked and eager to get one designed. Glenn is an amazing brand designer so it was fun to come up with his model. After some ideas we settled on doing one after his Bing he loves so much. That way he can have a little mini me of that board.


When it was done we took it with us to some shows we did and people loved it. Everyone wanted to buy it. It took us a while to get it to him but when we finally did we were stoked to hear that his lovely wife actually let him put it in his living room! Guys, as you know it is almost impossible to get any beloved board in your living room!  Believe me as much as he'd like to have that Bing on his wall there is no chance that is happening.
When Glenn was asked who he wanted to support with proceeds from the sale of the model he quickly chose Surfers Healing, a non profit organization started and run by Izzy and Danielle Paskowitz.  The organization is special because it uses surfing to heal autism with amazing results. See more on their program here.

If you'd like to support Surfers Healing and help an autistic child learn to surf you can donate directly to them here or you can purchase the Liquid Salt model and we will donate to them for you.

The Trophy




We got asked by Betty Steele to do the 2nd place Business Class trophy for the Cardiff Classic and Green Beach Fair this year. The guys from Zenbu/Rimel's in Cardiff won it. Kipp did an amazing job on this one. The resin tint is a work of art and he mounted it on some old drift wood he had. If you are going out to eat, stop by their restaurant and take a look. They are great food too!

Surfy Surfy Handplane





If you get a chance stop by Surfy Surfy to check out JP's St. Pierre's handplane we did together. Designed and painted by JP, shaped by me and glassed by Kipp. This thing is so cool. I had no idea JP had such a talent for drawing. JP really wanted to make a handplane that looked like the Bonzer Bumble Bee so we made this little beauty with a diamond tail. 

This one is not for sale as he liked it so much he kept it for him himself. However we are making more and if you want one just let us know and JP will paint it up for you. 

Scuttlefish @ Revolver


Our friend Brian Lam from the blog TheScuttleFish.com is having a Pop Up Shop at the famous Revolver shop in San Francisco. Brian is a big supporter of our Enjoy Handplane project and will be displaying a group of them with board bags next to handplanes by Danny Hes, Photography by Ryan Tatar, drawings and sculpture by Jay Nelson and tons more cool stuff.  If you are up in the SF area the opening is this Friday and the shop will last for 6 weeks. 

All proceeds from the venture will go to Save our Waves.

The Brian Lam Experiment


Our friend Brian Lam over at The Scuttle Fish had us make this little guy for him to do some testing with fin set ups. It has 3 fin plugs so he can try various configurations. He bodysurfs Ocean Beach SF a bunch and is completely hooked on handpanes. He reported back that the twin fin set up was best and the single fin was to shallow to do any good. We'll be making more fins for him to try out and see how it goes. Stay tuned.  Enjoy.

Skye Walker - Paints another Handplane
