Hawaii Surf Break Recycling Surf Boards

2012-02-11T07:37:00.000-08:00

Our Eco systems cannot handle all the trash we dish out on a daily basis, My family recycles cans, bottles and plastics, as well as Bulky day items that find their way out on the curb. Some items remain toxic even in the state of disrepair. I pick them up, fix, repair, paint and sell for a small fee.

I decided that i was also going to recycle old fiberglass and foam boards to keep them from the local land fills. I Love to paint art work so the old boards get a awesome coat of creativity and back into the world they go as Surf ART . I ve been recycling surf boards for a while now, I don't want to be described as a tree hugger but i guess i could be the "Board Hugger". One day I received a call from a guy named Patrick S. he also recycles boards, he fixes and repairs them and back out into the world they go! It was great to run into someone who has this great idea as well. he had several boards for me to recycle into Art.

I went out to Patrick's to pick up 10 or so boards and half's , front and back of trashed "Wave Beater ' Boards. He also loved the Tiki Mamboo i painted wanted to buy it.

I also teach kids about recycling things, so at my next kid class they will have a board to paint! I teach painting techniques to them and remind them it is absolutely necessary to recycle things.

Awesome!! Just Awesome!! Every board i sell goes back to the community in a new light. The money made from them buys paint and materials.

While we all need to be responsible and take recycling serious these days. I have gain momentum in my Art endeavors. "Got Board"? I recycle old wave beaters ( Surf Boards) and turn them into hand painted art for all to enjoy. Anything can be replenished or re-newed if one only can see the beauty behind the trash. My work can be found at several places online. Here are a few places. http://www.rainwaterphotographyart.com/ , http://www.zazzle.com/rainwaterart , http://www.cafepress.com/hawaiisurfbreak.

Eddie Dint Go Due to inconsistant wave action

2011-01-23T17:49:00.000-08:00

It is 6.pm Tuesday when we arrive at the North Shore to secure parking for the Eddie event, but not before we hit the Mcdonalds drive inn. Two happy meals and two dollor burgers should do it! We camped out in the car with two kids in tow. The surf rumbled like a freight train from 3 AM on. Not to mention it was a full moon so it was like sleeping with the light on.

The Buoys were screaming 25 plus for a week now. Event organators really called on the island as gossip and rumors started to feed the frenzy on the North shore. By 7 PM there was people camping out at sharks cove with us . Parking was non to be had. Tents ,barbies,and happy people fed the euphoria and anticipation.

At 6.AM we woke to a starbucks coffee and totally exhausted from sleep deprivation. Pure adrenaline is what every body was running on (well in my camp) , we started our trek to the bay along with 1000 people like zombie's heading to a AC/DC concert. No standing room, the waves would come in every 28 miutes, cameras and excited people spilled out into the road on curve side. Tom Carroll was interview for KITV as we approached, Aloha Tom! followed by a quick good luck hug and then there was Sunny Garcia it was like family picnic!

A Break in the day

2010-05-20T08:12:00.000-07:00

Sandy's Beach, Hawaii is infamous for neck breaking shore break action. This beach is not for Babies, Old Lady's or guys with a doughnut as floating device. ABC boards are not to be used here! Imagine as tons of gallons of water ready to mow you down face first in the sand with a thundering clap as the waves spank youre ass. For those who dare to take on Sandy's the ride is short but Sweet! Fins are required. Ocean Safety is always on alert and can pick out you armatures from the regular hardcore Body boarders of Sandy Beach.
