Surfing Celebs

In September I attended the Surfrider Foundation's fifth annual Celebrity Expression Session. Hosted by the beautiful Christina Applegate, the event took place at Surfrider Beach in Malibu. As a Surfrider member myself, I was stoked when my husband told me that the company he works for, Cali Bamboo, was was a sponsoring the event with Barefoot Wine. For every wave each celebrity caught, both sponsors donated $100.

The celebrities this year were Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Sam Trammell, Martyn Lenoble, Austin Nichols, Eric Balfour, Eric Avery, and Brian Geraghty. An amazing lineup, to say the least.

So they ended up raising $29,600 for Surfrider, which is amazing. But I have to admit, the most amazing part for me was standing a few feet from Flea and Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers as they waxed their boards and suited up.

As the web master and videographer/photographer for Cali Bamboo, my husband Walker was lucky enough to have press access and interviewed all of the celebrities. Not a bad gig. Check out his footage here:

During the event, all of the celebrities, including Christina Applegate signed a surfboard which will be given away to a lucky winner on Crowdrise. All you have to do to enter is donate $44 by November 29. The proceeds will go to Surfrider which is such a great organization that protects our beaches, coastlines and oceans.

New Colors

There is a common thread with most of my products...COLOR. While maintaining a consistent look and design aesthetic, most REDSTAR ink products are black and red.

But I have gotten numerous requests for customized goods in different colors so I have added a new color option to my top selling items. I am pleased to introduce to you brown and blue, now available at REDSTAR ink.
