🌊 I’m truly honored to be a part of this year’s Oyster Roast for the Coast!

I’m working on an original hand-painted surfboard for the silent auction, with proceeds supporting Conserve The Point and their work protecting and caring for a place that means so much to our community.

Come out October 3rd Surf City Brewing Company for oysters, b**r, music, great people, and a great cause. And maybe take home a one-of-a-kind surfboard while you’re there! 🦪🎨🌊

I’d love to see you there! 💙

🏄‍♀️ On to the back of the board....

🌺 I know you all have seen the Blanket Flowers that grow around the island.
Those pretty red and yellow flowers always remind me of Topsail Island.

💓 I told Robin's Nest (my husband for those who may not know🥰) how much I loved them one time when we were kayaking. Embeded in one of those flowers is a date very special to us.

🚤 The photo of the boy driving the boat is Cricket TenPas' impression of a photo of my son driving us back from dinner in August, 2017. Everytime he drives the boat, I think of my daddy teaching him.

🚁 In honor of my son-in-law, and his job as a US Marine, I included the helicopter photo. Those helicopters we all know as one of the sounds of freedom we are thankful for everytime we hear them. 🇺🇸

👰🤵 The bride and groom? My daughter and son-in-law on their wedding day right here in Surf City overlooking Water's Bay, June 28, 2025 after their civil ceremony, also right here in Surf City, May 22, 2025.

🤔 More to come❣️

🌊✨ Surfn’ The City: Nostalgia ✨🌊

This board is a love letter to the memories that shaped Surf City.

From the iconic old swing bridge to mixtapes, postcards, beach days, family gatherings, and lifelong friendships, this piece celebrates the moments that connect generations. The front features the old swing bridge standing proudly against a colorful coastal sky, a symbol of the countless stories that have crossed its path. The back is a collection of memories from the 1980s to today, woven together through snapshots, keepsakes, and pieces of life along the coast.

Whether you grew up here, vacationed here every summer, or found your forever home here, this board is a reminder that Surf City is more than a place. It’s the people, the laughter, the traditions, and the memories that keep bringing us back.

Family.
Friends.
Forever.
Surf City. ❤️
