on march 31st i participated in a rad art contest at a surf shop in fort lauderdale, BC Surf & Sport. the show caught my attention in particular because one of my favorite surf artists Andy Davis was putting it on along with Billabong & BC. I have been a fan of his art for years and never thought i would get the chance to meet him. He is an artist from California his surf art has been on posters and clothes his paintings show so much joy that is from the soul of a surfer. he paints such life into the waves and into the surfer guys and girls he paints. they are wonderful. he recently joined forces with Billabong and has been creating art for them and making lots of rad shirts, shorts, hats etc. His art is reaching places i'm sure he would never have imagined. This contest was a great local art show with the theme of Waves, it was open to anyone to submit an original artwork with that theme and on march 31st they would have a show & announce a winner.

in february i traveled to puerto rico w some friends for a girls surf adventure. it was super fun and beautiful. we stayed in rincon and traveled to the nw coast each day for some fun chest high waves, we just missed the swell but still had fun waves and lots of sunshine. we also adventured to a waterfull one day, this spot San Sebastian has 2 waterfalls you hike to one then up to the other. Really beautiful and fun to jump in. can't wait for more adventures this year. peace & love!

    Indie Craft Swell was a fun day in the sun. Filling the front area of a rad surf shop Island Water Sports was over 30 vendors lined in rows selling lots of treasures. Each vendor was under a tent and had lots of unique handmade goods, vintage goods, some yummy food and more. I was sent up with my Peace Owl Forest. I brought my new puppy Shelly (a german shepherd mix rescue) along for the day. She spent most of the day sleeping under my table with a few play breaks. This was a first for the parking lot area of Island Water Sports but they do want to do more in the future. But they are always open too and would easily be your lovable and favorite surf shop. More photos from event are here and here . ♥ Peace & Love!

This place was my second home for years i miss the days of hanging out after days of surfing and playing in the beach sand at deerfield beach. The shop is filled of friendly faces and always is a cozy place to shop and hang after days in the sunshine. You can find many things there from surfing to skating to clothes to shoes to swimsuits and accessories. And this saturday they are turning there area in front of the shop into a indie craft wonderland. You will find all sorts of unique local artists, handmade, vintage treasures.
