Liquid Salt Collaboration Supports SurfersHealing.org



A while back we thought it would be fun to collaborate with some of the people we know and respect in our surf community to do a program that we could have fun with as well as have an opportunity to give back to some of the organizations we feel need our support.

What we came up with was a Collaboration Program where we pick one of our heros in the surf world and collaborate with them to design a model that will give a bit back to a charity of their choice.

Our first collaboration is with Glenn Sakamoto of  Liquid Salt Magazine. For those of you familiar with Liquid Salt you know Glenn as the brains and talent behind the interviews of the surf world's elite.

We didn't know Glenn that well so we approached him to see if he would be into it. Turned out he was already a fan of our work so he was stoked and eager to get one designed. Glenn is an amazing brand designer so it was fun to come up with his model. After some ideas we settled on doing one after his Bing he loves so much. That way he can have a little mini me of that board. 



When it was done we took it with us to some shows we did and people loved it. Everyone wanted to buy it. It took us a while to get it to him but when we finally did we were stoked to hear that his lovely wife actually let him put it in his living room! Guys, as you know it is almost impossible to get any beloved board in your living room!  Believe me as much as he'd like to have that Bing on his wall there is no chance that is happening.




When Glenn was asked who he wanted to support with proceeds from the sale of the model he quickly chose Surfers Healing, a non profit organization started and run by Izzy and Danielle Paskowitz.  The organization is special because it uses surfing to heal autism with amazing results. See more on their program here.


If you'd like to support Surfers Healing and help an autistic child learn to surf you can donate directly to them here or you can purchase the Liquid Salt model and we will donate to them for you.
