I was asked to make the Key Art assets for this years SIMA (Surf Industry Members Association) Watermans event. I also donated artwork to their fundraiser for the Surfrider Foundation.
For over three decades, SIMA Waterman's Weekend has been a driving force behind environmental efforts to protect our oceans, surf breaks, and combat plastic pollution. Having raised nearly $10 million since its inception in 1989, the event continues to support beneficiaries dedicated to preserving our marine ecosystems.
This year, the gala and luau aimed to raise $250,000 for more than a dozen ocean conservation groups, cementing its status as a significant contributor to environmental causes.
The weekend kicked off with a Luau on Friday Evening and commenced with a Gala on Saturday.
Surfer Nathan Florence was named Water Person of the year.
