Malwitz Surfboards + Surfrider
Update: the donation drive and surfboard raffle are officially over, check for the winner. I’d like to personally say ‘thank you’ to all the people who read this and clicked over to Rick’s site and donated. You rock!
Rick Malwitz has been turning out beautiful custom shaped boards for the past few years. He combines beautiful shapes, flawless glassing and tasty, minimal tints and logos. His skills are getting insane.
Rick is looking to raise $2000 for Surfrider Foundation. In exchange for your tax deductible donation, you can be entered into a raffle for one of Rick’s custom shaped boards of your choice (peep some of his recent boards, all drool-worthy). $5 gets you one chance to win and $20 gets you 5 chances.
Further: the raffle started this past weekend and Rick has been so impressed with the response. He has decided to up the ante, to get the donation process done and the raffle prize awarded. The winner now has three options:
1. Custom board
2. Supplies to make their own. (Blank, Resin, Cloth, Fins, Fin boxes)
3. Shape it themselves in my studio and I’ll glass.
So go over to Rick’s site: Malwitz Surfboards and donate. The tax-deductible donations are being handled through Changing The Present.org
I really dig on the idea of people starting their own donation drive like Rick has, raising awareness for a cause we all feel strongly about. It’s a simple idea but very powerful. A nice way to generate interest in giving a little cash over to Surfrider and some lucky brojammie gets to walk away with a sweet prize. Great idea.
