QUIKSILVER FOUNDATION ART TEES

The Quiksilver Foundation art tees for summer 2010 is a collaboration between Brookes Reeder and Scott Massey. With the photography of Brookes Reeder and the DIY style of Scott Masey we have two tees that echo an environmental theme by content or implied simply by the recycled process of collage. Please visit www.rrrproject.com to gain info on Scott’s new book, RRR.01, which Brookes has also contributed.

The scope of SurfAid’s work has increased from malaria prevention to now include water and sanitation, disaster preparedness, and community health programs.

In the last 10 years, SurfAid

• Has distributed nearly 60,000 specially treated mosquito nets and malaria education to more than 300 villages in some of the remotest areas in the world, stretching along hundreds of kilometers of rough seas from northern Simeulue to the southern Mentawai
• Has expanded from the initial malaria program to encompass hygiene, sanitation, nutrition, clean water projects, pregnancy and birthing, and immunization
• Has created lasting change, self reliance and improved the ability of communities to solve their own problems into the future
• Has responded to four large earthquake/tsunami emergencies despite never being established as an emergency response organization
• Has helped communities extensively prepare for emergencies
• Has Indonesian nationals comprising 90 per cent of our staff
• Is encouraging global citizenship through our schools program which is now in Australia, New Zealand and the USA. http://schools.surfaidinternational.org

Quiksilver would like to congratulate Surfaid on all of their hard work over the past 10 years and wish them continued success in the future!

Our resident hero on the streets down there Quinn Campbell who has been on it almost 24/7 since the morning of the quake and tsunami, lost his own house in the coastal village of Curanipe, and abandoned his vacation plans with his wife and son to lead the way and direct the majority of the relief efforts along the coastal towns and villages. Quinn advised us that the local divers and fisherman (Quik team rider and Chilean charger Ramon Navarro’s father being one) have lost a lot of their equipment, including their already meager wetsuit quivers.

With that, in conjunction with SIMA, Quiksilver Foundation is heading up a wetsuit drive over the next 2 weeks thru march 26.  So please scour your homes for those fullsuits you no longer wear or have grown out of and make a difference by donating them to our Chilean friends.

Following are the specific needs Quinn gave us:

• ONLY MENS FULL SUITS, BOOTIES & HOODS (no springs, short arm fulls or vests!)
• Ideally we want 4/3’s or 5/4/3’s but we will take 3/2’s as well
• Sizes needed include mens small, medium, large or xl
• Old dive suits are very welcome
• Basically any fullsuit that is in somewhat decent condition, the warmer the better

Please mail or drop-off all suits to:

Thanks for your help once again!!!

Founded in 1993 by the United Nations General Assembly, World Water Day was created to help focus public attention on the critical water issues facing our global community. The theme for this year’s World Water Day is “Clean Water for a Healthy World.”

“Water is the foundational basis for all life on the planet,” says Matt McClain, Surfrider Foundation’s Director of Marketing and Communications. “How we interact and manage water has a direct affect on not only our marine resources, but the whole of our world as well.”

To help illustrate this point, the Surfrider Foundation is launching “Know Your H20″ – a new program that focuses on the issues behind use and management of our world’s water resources – on World Water Day.

“Know Your H20 is the next evolutionary step in Surfrider Foundation’s long-running Blue Water Task Force monitoring program,” says McClain. “Our goal is to move beyond telling people there are challenges to marine water quality, and towards educating them on how they can take steps to improve it.”

The Surfrider Foundation officially launches the program with the premiere of their highly anticipated animated movie “The Cycle of Insanity: The Real Story of Water.” The film, which was created by a cadre of Surfrider Foundation volunteer activists, is narrated by LOST star Zuleikha Robinson and focuses on the various challenges and solutions relating to water management.

Surfrider Foundation will also be kicking off an online contest for its Blue Note Karaoke event on World Water Day. Starting March 22nd, people can log onto MySpace and enter for a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to California to participate in Surfrider’s Blue Note Karaoke event on May 6th.

Finally, the Surfrider Foundation will be offering a special one-day only World Water Day membership package on March 22nd. For the discount price of $20 (regularly $25), purchasers will receive a one-year membership to the Surfrider Foundation and their choice of either a reusable FilterForGood Nalgene bottle or organic tote bag.
