Want to Win a Custom Pendo Surfboard?
Hi, there! We are honored to be commissioned to create the Grand Prize for the Catch a Wave surfboard art contest, which is put on by our friends at Corel, and Intel. There is still time to enter! The contest is open until midnight on Aug. 31.
Quoted from the Corel site: “If you haven’t entered our Catch a Wave surfboard art contest, what are you waiting for? We have some amazing prizes up for grabs, including a custom, hand-built surfboard with your design printed on it, Microsoft Surface Pro tablets, solar chargers and gift cards, sponsored by our friends at Intel.
Perhaps you’re wondering “how do I create a design for a surfboard?” Well, it’s easier than you think. There is no set template to follow – just let your creativity and inspiration be your guide. The thrill and exhilaration of riding a wave, combined with the surreal and spiritual experience of being one with nature make surfing more than just a sport – it is a lifestyle that combines freedom, joy and inspiration like no other. So we are challenging you to use this inspiration to create your own surfboard artwork.
Any digital art that you create can be used on a surfboard. If it is something simple, like a dolphin, fish or seahorse, it can be placed in one spot on the board like the deck or nose area. More detailed and complex artwork like an underwater scene or sunset landscape with palm trees can be placed to cover the entire length of the board. Wherever your inspiration takes you, we will work with the winning artist on how to best place his or her design on the board.
The grand prize custom surfboard will be created by Cher and Steve Pendarvis. Any of you who are familiar with Painter and Painter Essentials software will know Cher as one of our renowned Painter Masters. But not only is she an incredibly talented artist, she is also a surfing pioneer. Cher and her husband Steve have been creating handmade custom surfboards for decades. Here are some examples of the amazing surfboards they have created.”

The 2015 SCSA Gromfest
Hello, there! The Gromfest for local kids—16 and under—is our favorite event with our Sunset Cliffs Surfing Association family. At the Gromfest, every kid is a winner! SCSA hosted this year’s Gromfest on August 1 at the Ocean Beach pier. The waves were 1-3 feet with fun shape for the young surfers. Special thanks go to the SCSA Gromfest committee and sponsors for organizing such a wonderful day for the kids. A good time was had by all. We hope that you enjoy the pictures—the kids’ smiles are contagious! We are so stoked that little Kalani Lewis won the Pendo egg that Steve had made with love, and donated to the contestant raffle. It was wonderful to meet Kalani and his parents Ikaika and Caitlin. Happy endings to this year’s event! Thank you to event photographer Rob Blake, and Ikaika Lewis and Julie Klein for sharing your great pictures. Love and Aloha, Cher and Steve

Today we went on a little road trip to North County, a whole whopping 22 miles! Hoo-ti-hoo! Got the old truck out for a freeway run, to keep the blood flowing, you know, ahummm, the oil! It was great to see our good friends, the crew at Mitch’s North, Lorraine, Micah and everyone. “Gee, I was just picking up boxes to pack n ship, but I brought Cher along with me. Wow! That adds a whole “nother” facet to the adventure.” Thanks Lorraine for the fun photo! Aloha Friday Cowa-flexit!
