Slyde Handboards' Earth Day Celebration

Thanks to your generous support, Slyde Handboardswas able to make Heal the Bay's Earth Day a little bit greener. A stellar $152 from the sale, of a unique Slyde Handboard, autographed by master waterman Mark Cunningham, "Come Hell or High Water" movie director Keith Malloy and world-renowned surf photographer Chris Burkard, will be donated to Heal the Bay's "Ban the Bag" campaign.

This is a campaign focused on banning single-use plastic bags in Los Angeles, California.  Currently, it's estimated that Californians alone use 12 billion plastic bags each year.  Continued support for the L.A. bag bill will keep plastic bags from trashing our communities and beaches. Many people bid, but ultimately it was Tim Hoskins of Oakland, California that will be Slyde-ing into the Bay Area on this collectible Slyde handboard. 

The Signed Handboard Winner

"I can't wait to get shacked. While I'm a lifelong lover of the ocean, I am a recent convert to the Slyde Handboard after receiving one as a gift last year. The added dimension the Slyde board provides makes it all that more fun to play around in the waves. It was an extra bonus that proceeds went to Heal the Bay.  The 'Ban the Bag' campaign is near to my heart, as I once took a trip to Thailand and saw how the masses of plastic bags floating in the oceans get tangled up in the mangrove forest and consequently destroy the habitat and its residents.  I have since been a reusable bag proponent, and I'm glad my county put it into law this year." said Tim Slyde Handboards, along with you, is looking forward to continuing to bring environmental awareness to causes both local and global.

Also, please note the official total was $152 and not $176 as posted by myself.  Math skills are apparently not my strong point.
