6'3" BALSA FISH FOR CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKE APPEAL

Reserve met
- Closed: Mon 16 May 2011, 8:22 pm
- Listing #: 375246625
All money from the auction will be donated to the Red Cross Christchurch Earthquake Appeal.
Sadhana Surfboards are a Christchurch based surfboard manufacturer located only a few kilometres from the quake epicentre on February 22nd. Our factory is now being held up by temporary timber framing, whilst other adjacent buildings are now red stickered or have been demolished.
This tumultuous experience has motivated me to shape a timber surfboard for the Red Cross Earthquake Appeal.
This design is based on our most popular local model.
The timbers used for the main shape of the board are South American Balsa, renowned in the surfing community as the craftsmans wood of choice.
The centre stringers, fins and display rack, are timbers from a demolished factory that once stood right behind our own.
The board is 6'3" in length, to represent the 6.3mag quake that changed a lot of lives.
On the stringer near the tail, I have sprayed a design to represent the view when sitting in the waves looking west to the mountains of our region. These are in the red and black of Canterbury.
Length: 6'3"
Width: 21 7/8"
Thickness: 2 7/8"
Even though it feels like Christchurch is slowly putting itself back together, I hear of many people still struggling on a daily basis to get back to some sense of normality. I hope this board in some way goes to helping alleviate this.
Please give generously as this is a one off collectors item.
Freighting within New Zealand will be provided at a discounted rate with thanks to Mainfreight.
