Matt Jung form Wellen put on a very cool, first I've ever I've heard of, Body Surfing Art Show at their old HQ. Complete with original artwork by the artists Skye Walker, Keiron [Seamouse] Lewis, Ciro Bicudo, Jen Peters, Anthony Faucheuxthat who work with Wellen. 

We were lucky enough to get invited to join in on the fun. For our part we brought eight handplanes to display along with a little impromptu wave sculpture I made out of scrap card board and hemp string complete with little hemp string bodysurfer. (Not pictured but added in the night by Kipp was a beer tab for an handplane.) 

Thanks to Matt from Wellen for inviting us!
Thanks to all the artists that participated in making the Art Colab models with us! If anyone wants a handplane painted by one of them let us know.

As more pictures come in from the event we'll post them.

As part of our Enjoy Handplane project we team up with local Eco Artist Rodney "Rodrigo" McCounbrey in a "Leftovers' program to use our left over parts to make art. He is amazing. Thanks to all who support our handplane project and donate boards as this is part of the love that comes from your gift. If anyone wants one let us know. We'll connect you with Rodrigo.
