SURFAID APPEAL<br />
Surfaid has put out the call for<br />
funding needed to supply water<br />
facilities in the Mentawais.<br />
The past year saw the organisation<br />
roll out recovery after the 2010<br />
tsunami. They’ve now moved into<br />
long-term recovery for affected<br />
communities with a new program<br />
called SeSe, which means<br />
‘appropriate’ in Mentawai language.<br />
It costs on average $100 to provide<br />
a sustainable fresh water supply to<br />
one family. Money raised will go<br />
towards gravity-fed tanks, wells,<br />
filtered spring water collection and<br />
rainwater harvesting systems.<br />
All donations are tax deductible.<br />
To get involved, visit surfaid.org and<br />
feel free to join Surfaid on Facebook,<br />

news on programs and events.<br />
FREE BOARDS FOR<br />
BROKEN ONES<br />
The ever-busy Peter Neely of Indo<br />
Surf & Lingo has been doing travel<br />
insurance for some time now, but<br />
has recently stepped up the options<br />
and coverage for surfers. He’s now<br />
organised cover for any damage to<br />
surfboards - even while surfing - and<br />
unlimited medical and evacuation<br />
costs from anywhere overseas.<br />
There’s also an option for travel<br />
within Australia, so if you plan to<br />
catch a cyclone swell, and if you<br />
snap your board, you get one free...<br />
Well, the cash to order one from<br />
your favourite local shaper anyway!<br />
You’re looking at from $700 to<br />
$1,000 for the international trips,<br />
and $500 for Australian trips. Peter<br />
tells us you can even get cover of up<br />
to $6,000 for more expensive custom<br />
boards, SUPs and the like.<br />
For more information, see the full<br />
details are on the Indo Surf website:<br />

THE PLACE TO MEET<br />
The Sandy Feet Surf Swap is on<br />
again, 19 August in Port Macquarie.<br />
The swap meet will be smack-bang<br />
in the middle of the Australian<br />
Surf Festival on the day after the<br />
Australian Longboard Titles final.<br />
If you missed last year’s it was a<br />
cracker. Check out Thomas Brown’s<br />
footage to see what it is all about at<br />
http://vimeo.com/28081483<br />
No entry fee. Anyone can just come<br />
along and buy/sell/swap any used<br />
surfboards. There will also possibly<br />
be some live music and some other<br />
interesting stalls.<br />
