Community for WAVES Party – April 23, Portland, OR – support their Kickstarter campaign here
Join our friends, Rick & Staj, and help them kick-off Community for WAVES: a community-supported project to volunteer with WAVES for Development—to bring a wood building workshop to Lobitos, Peru to introduce youth to the art, craft & economic opportunities linked with the trade. In addition to helping WAVES enrich the lives of these youth, we’re also hoping to help advance the growing sustainable travel movement, which WAVES is charging forward in the world!
Tuesday, April 23, 6-9pm @ Popina Swimwear Hollywood (2030 NE 42nd Ave Portland, OR)
There will be…
- Free beer by Kona Brewing for 21+
- Light refreshments by Kruger Farm, Lilly’s Hummus & more
- Film screening “Capture” – 7:30pm
- Raffle with tons of sweet prizes – 8:00pm
- A hands-on, wetsuit-mending table w/ Warm Current (all mended wetsuits will be donated to WAVES Community Education Surf Centre)
- Surfrider Foundation educational table & plastic from the sea

Who are Rick & Staj? Rick is a woodworker and adventure journalist, and Staj is an outreach and event specialist for environmental advocacy non-profits with a background in art and design.
What do they hope to accomplish by teaching the workshop? By teaching this workshop, we hope to provide students with fun, basic woodworking skills and tool safety, as well as a stepping stone into the greater possibility of woodworking and the economic and development opportunities associated with the trade.
