2011 Cardiff Surf Classic & Rerip Green Show

It went by too fast!

This year’s Green Show was a lot of fun! Much thanks to Brenda Dizon and Betty Steele from Steele Realty for putting on a great show… again. This year we were sandwiched between a Chiropractor and Sambazon Acai (awesome stuff guys!) right up against the slope. The weather was perfect – especially Saturday – and the show attendees were gracious, respectful, and laid back as one would expect at a street fair in Cardiff. The Groms were everywhere this year, all ages, having a blast either out in the water, biking, skating, or perfecting their style in the land-surfing tarp (see picture below).

Once again we represented for the landscape design and construction industry at this year’s show and had a great response. Our display featured a reclaimed wood feature wall and rustic table with lumber procured from Vintage Timberworks up in Rainbow. The sign was hand-painted by Ryan and all the potted arrangements were for sale (many still are… email if you’re interested). We went back and forth on having a LCD monitor show a montage of our project photos, but ended up passing on that and just chatting people up. Thoughts on this for next year??

We had several planters by Santa Monica based company Green Form made from Fiber-cement, air and water. They were a hit and if you really like them, check out their website and see their full-line of planters and furniture. Be sure to let Felix know where you heard about them.

Thank you to everyone who came and visited us and stopped by the booth to say hello. We are happy and proud to support our local businesses and appreciate you all. Any feedback, suggestions, ideas? comment below or send us an email.
