A huge thank you to everyone that was involved with Chicks with Sticks Art Rumble; who came along, had a stall, donated art work, supplied prizes, or simply put energy into helping out (big props to the quiksilver boys for setting up the surf screen) or attending a day dedicated to art, crafts and raising money for two great causes; Surfers 4 Cetaceans and Ticket to Ride’s Foundation project in Musaphelele township, Cape Town.

It was a gathering of lovely people, with a vintage inspired theme and we enjoyed the chance to get creative with the kids, eat some yummie food and absorb the free art, films and music on offer throughout the day.
What was amazing was the amount of work donated by local, and international artists.To do it all justice, we have decided to construct an online art auction, with a bidding system through ebay, so that people don’t even have to leave to comfort of their own homes to score some awesome surf-art.
We aim to generate more awareness and publicity throughout the summer’s events and begin the auction in August.All the profits will go to our two charities, check out the website and blog for more details.
The next event is the Surf Off on 31st July.We are raising money for grassroots NGO Surfers Against Sewage who campaign and fight for cleaner beaches and safer seas for surfers.As environmental enthusiasts, Chicks with Sticks feel its important to support their cause and continually raise awareness for oceanic issues, especially with the current crisis regarding the BP oil spill.Even though that is far away, there is a global message that our oceans need to be respected and protected, and as surfers, we should be the enforcers of this mantra.
AM; Free surf lessons through Ripcurl’s ESF surf school and Oakley Surf Sistas for cancers charities; PANTS and The Lavender Trust.
PM; Surf Off fun comp; Chicks with Sticks vs. Newquay Boardriders
Prizes for winners, all entrants as well as a special Paulo award(in honour of our friend Paul Brewer) for outstanding effort.
The evening is being held at the beach bar, with electro DJ’s bangin out the choons for a 1980’s surfer prom theme.There’ll be prizes, raffle, awards and of course, the return of the infamous man auction (for updates on the men available check out the facebook page).There’ll also be a collection for old surf equipment to help Mr. Brights surf school in Ghana pass on boards and wetties to the kids of Africa.
CWS’s Nat will be celebrating her 28th birthday, and as well as being a warm up to boardmasters, we’ll be celebrating the Sousek’s becoming Mr and Mrs!
The artwork is rolling in for our auction on Saturday, we are just oohing and ahhing about a beautiful original painting 'Barrel' by Suzanne Crawford.. Check out more of Suzanne's work on her website www.liquid-colours.co.uk
