Soooo, I am having the best time ever here on the Gold Coast. I figured I should start doing my blogs again. SO here you go. Here are some pics of the land and of the casting parties and such :)
I am still in Coolangatta, QLD and the comp is coming to and end… We have today and maybe tomorrow, then we are done! …and then I return home ☹
The time spent here was very successful for KAB! We have received heaps of exposure here thanks to everyone working here. The commentators have been wonderful plugging us to make sure that people come and see us at the tent.
We casted fourteen of the ladies in the competition including world champion Stephanie Gilmore and a couple of the long boarders that were out, Kassia Meador and world champion Jen Smith. They were beautifully painted by Roxy and Quiksilver artists and then auctioned off to raise funds for breast cancer awareness. KAB will be donating a majority of the proceeds to the Australian National Breast Cancer Foundation.
There is also another really great organization out here at the contest called Sean Sheppard. Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization whose mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world’s oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species.
Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately-balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations. Please support this organization by educating others and checking out the website, www.seashepherd.corg
We have really been enjoying ourselves out here!
Hope that everyone out there is able to make it to this beautiful land soon.
here are some pics of the casting parties and some of the artists as well.
enjoy!
there will be more to come!! I promise...!!!
