Surf VS Stake at Project Studio featured surf and stake boards painted by over 30 artists, among them are Joe Ledbetter, Upso, Thomas Han and Luke Chueh. Unaware of a cover of $10 "donation" to enter, the doorman was kind enough to let me in with only the cash I had…..$5. The moment I stepped through the narrow walkway, I found an attractive crowd hovered around the pumping DJ and a bar in the back serving up drinks, the Studio was a cross over of a gallery and a lounge. Nonetheless, I ventured out seeking boards by the various artists of my interests and look at what I found…..
Catching up with Joe, I found out it took him four days to finish his surf board and if my memory serves me right, it was going for $2,500, but contact Joe or the studio to confirm. And the rumor has it the toy is coming out REAL soon…..
