Coastkeeper’s Gala Event
Coastkeeper’s Gala event, to be held on November 15th at the Hotel Del Coronado, is the region’s largest gathering of environmental leaders, community activists, elected officials, and concerned citizens who join together to celebrate San Diego’s natural resources.
Coastkeeper is spearheading efforts in Southern California to create a series of Marine Protected Areas as part of the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative, and this year’s Gala will highlight our ocean wilderness and the need to protect our coastal resources now and for generations to come.
True to their commitment as environmental stewards, they are making ever effort this year make the event as sustainable as possible, from using organic and local vendors like Niemann Ranch and Quivera Winery, to using 100% recycled paper, soy-ink and energy friendly printers for all event materials. But even more exciting, this is the first ‘green auction’ ever produced in San Diego.
You can check out more information about San Diego Coastkeeper and our Gala event online at

Sacred Craft
October 10-11, 2008
SACRED CRAFT – The Consumer Surfboard Expo is bringing together all of us who love surfboards –and all things surfboard– under one roof for a weekend long surfboard extravaganza in Del Mar. A large exposition hall at the Del Mar Fairgrounds filled with the objects of our desire! If it has to do with the SURFBOARD it will be at SACRED CRAFT – The Consumer Surfboard Expo.
WHY?
Because it dawned on us that the surfboard makers needed a way to market their wares, and the surfer needed a place they could go to talk surfboard design with the people that make them, rather than some 17-year-old shop rat that doesn’t know…shoestrings. Most of you remember a time when you could go into a surfshop and talk to a shaper. They’re still out there, thank God, but sadly they are a dying breed.

Arden Taylor Surf Benefit
Arden Taylor was only 42 years old when one day he left work early due to a terrible headache. He found out shortly thereafter that he was suffering from inoperable brain tumors. News traveled fast through the surf community and when a young surfer heard about Ardens condition he instantly asked, “Is there something we could do to make him feel better?” The Akins family & the Ventura Surf Club together decided to have a surf benefit in Ardens name.
