HIGHLY ANTICIPATED VINTAGE SURF AUCTION RETURNS TO HONOLULU Biennial Event Lures Collectors from Around the World HONOLULU (February 17, 2009) - Mark your calendars! With 5 months to go, the fifth biennial Hawaiian Islands Vintage Surf Auction, presented by Quiksilver Premium, is set to raise the bar on international surf auctions once again when it returns to the Blaisdell Center, Honolulu, on July 17 & 18. Over the past four auctions more than $1,500,000 of the finest vintage surfboards and surf memorbilia have changed hands and over $75,000 has been donated to various charitable causes and foundations. This year's auction is already shaping up to be the biggest and best yet. As has become the tradition, veteran surfboard designers, shapers and manufactures will be in attendance, including Matt Kivlin, Joe Quigg, Greg Noll, Dick Brewer, Ben Aipa, Bing Copeland, and Ole Olson, amongst a host of others. Surf stars of the '60s the likes of Jock Sutherland, Fred Hemmings, Ricky Grigg, Joey Cabell, Buffalo Keaulana and many others will also be on hand. They will be joined by short board pioneers of the '70s & '80s: Pipeline Masters Gerry Lopez, Rory Russell and Jeff Crawford; as well as world champions Mark Richards, Peter Townend, Shaun Tomson, and Tom Carroll, all of whom will have personalized surfboards from the various eras. They will be joined by revered Hawaii surfers Larry Bertlemann, Barry Kanaiaupuni and Bobby Owens. Never-before-seen surfboards have been unearthed, including an ancient 1850 breadfruit board, turn-of-the-century redwood planks, hollow paddle boards, design-changing early wood/fiberglass prototypes, big wave "guns" of the '60s, and pro boards of the '70s and '80s. Along with the treasure trove of surfboards will be an eclectic selection of Hawaiian-theme artwork, surf contest items, unique island-influenced surf memorabilia, some of the first images of surfing ever depicted in print from Missonary times, off-beat surf a

My name is David Elliott, and I am the owner & founder of Davesurf Productions, LLC. Here's the story about how all of this started, where it is going and how we can help you. I started working with websites in 1995 and around the end of 1998 I started a small web design company. I was serving in the US Air Force, had a brand new baby girl and living in Hawaii. The internet was brand new to us and I was hooked. I taught myself how to design websites from scratch by braking down other websites. I was an Art student in High School and College. Web design quickly became my new art medium. When I started the web design company in Hawaii, I was surfing almost every day. I wanted to hang out with the Surf Industry people, so I formed a plan to build and manage the pro surfers and surf shop owner's websites. My plan worked. I built the Hawaiian Surf Surf Shop site for Fred Patacchia Sr., Classic Surfboards Surf Shop for Ginny and Cippy and the client list grew from there. Building websites for the surf industry helped me meet Randy Rarick, the renown surfboard shaper and Director of the Triple Crown of Surfing. We have been designing theHawaiianSurfAuction.com website for over a decade. It is a bi-annual live auction event in Honolulu with live online bidding and live video feed. It grossed over $850,000 in sales last year. All of this was done while I was on active duty in the Air Force, occasionally deploying to far away lands and taking care of a young family. I also started a small eco car care product company, called Freedom Waterless Car Wash, in 1999. I used the web design/ web marketing to promote it world-wide and it became (and still is) very successful. I still operate it today. Many years later, I was divorced, re-married, had 2 more children, retired from the Air Force, and became successful running my eco car care product business. We did it by continually building our vast website network and built dozens of websites for clients. I keep up on the

It is a wrong notion that one would be in need of loan modification only in recession. It's true that because of recessions people were not able to make loan payments, which they had already taken. The slump in the economy and no fund across the board forced many people to opt for loan.

If you've been to any diesel event over the past few years, you'll understand that a set of train air horns on your rig is becoming more of a requirement than a luxury. While many could argue it's not a logical investment, the side benefit of having air horns, other than getting noticed immediately, is the supporting on-board air system required to run them.

The faux-vintage electric car with which horse advocates want to replace Central Park's carriage horses has classic white-wall tires, running boards, mahogany and an "ah-hoogah" horn.

Hybrid bulldozer and terrain excavators will be monitored next year by academics and the California Air Resources Board to see if they offer significantly lowered carbon emissions.
