The Billabong Art of Shaping 2010, Orange County Edition poster
Royce Cansler and the folks at Billabong did an amazing job organizing the Billabong Art of Shaping, Orange County Edition charity benefit. I was honored to shoot portraits of most of the shapers for the poster, event displays and web site. This was an exciting experience, as more than fifty years of Orange County shaping was represented. The boards and shaper displays were exhibited at ASR on Friday and then on Saturday at the Sacred Craft surfboard show. On Saturday evening at the Art of Shaping reception, the exquisite boards were auctioned off for charity. The beneficiaries include:
Keep a Breast, B4BC – Boarding for Breast Cancer, Surfer’s Healing, Jimmy Miller Foundation, AccesSurf Hawaii, Mauli Ola Foundation, Best Day Foundation, Outdoor Outreach, Stoked Mentoring, Life Rolls On, Project Wipeout, Surf Aid International, and Sumba Foundation.

Royce and the Billabong folks graciously made a thank you sign “Official Art of Shaping Photographer” and I was very touched. It is an honor to work on this project with Royce and the Billabong team.
