Kick­ing off this years Vin­tage Auc­tion week­end fes­tiv­i­ties in Hon­olulu, Surftech hosted a great party attended by over 400 surfers, shapers, and col­lec­tors from around the world. It was great to see the local surf com­mu­nity come together to cre­ate a night to remem­ber. Tom Stone brought over a group of beau­ti­ful Koa boards and there was an amaz­ing art show fea­tur­ing many top surf artists and pho­tog­ra­phers. Local chefs pro­vided every­one with excel­lent grinds and a hosted bar was in full swing. Steve Cranston and the Surftech crew really knocked them­selves out to trans­form the ware­house into some­thing that felt more like an art gallery or club and a good time was had by all.
