Ebb and Flow Fundraiser for the Arts is a Success!
Results are in. With the help of the community Ebb and Flow was able to raise over $6000 to rehire the art teacher. Really cool. I love the way the community comes together in times like this. Give it up to Ryan at Ebb and Flow for organizing this. Go give his shop some love. Click on the image to enlarge the flyer to see all the other fine folks who helped out. I'm taking note and will support them as well. Congratulations everyone!
Video of Sunny Garcia at Pipe Winter 2000
In Dec of 2000 I went on a trip to Honolulu for a marathon Alia's mom was in. On the plane ride there I was reading Surfer and all about how Sunny was the new world champ. The trip was really short. Maybe 4 days max. On one of the non race days we rented a car and went out to the North Shore to check it out. I had never gone before. We parked, walked up to Pipe and sat down on the beach. Right as we do Sunny walks up and paddles out in front of us. I had just gotten a video camera and was so stoked to watch and film this all go down. It was a smallish day for Pipe but everyone was out. (Andy, Bruce, you name it, were out.) Sunny was on top of the world. You could feel how stoked he was. When I got back I put this little video together and forgot about it until today after I found it cleaning up an old website I had it posted on back then. It brings me back to that day. It was one of those things you never forget.
A side note on that board he's riding. It is a bamboo veneered board by BSA ( Bamboo Surfboards Australia). Everyone knows that he rides for BYB, but he actually had 2 board sponsors at the time.
