Around the world, water has become the issue. Shortages, contamination, droughts and ownership are all topics we have read about over the past few months, and it is only going to become more complicated. After a catastrophic super typhoon ravaged parts of the Philippines in December 2013, Waves For Water, a non-profit organization founded by pro surfer Jon Rose, was actively bringing portable water filters to provide clean water for areas of the country in desperate need. The efforts led Juxtapoz and friends UNIV Surf Shop and Chandran Gallery to create a benefit auction to raise money and awareness for Waves For Water, inviting artists like RETNA, Cleon Peterson, Geoff McFetridge, Monica Canilao and others to create original artwork on surfboards to activate the art community. We are lucky to work with a great community of artists and creatives to present projects that promote awareness and action for positive, ongoing initiatives such as this.
