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.
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.
