Whalebone Urban Surf hosts Spring 2011 Fashion Show!

Friday, February 18th was a great day for Whalebone Urban Surf.  Besides the fact that it was 75 degrees and sunny, it also happened to be the day we hosted our Spring 2011 Fashion Show.  We had an amazing turnout for the event, which included the fashion show, refreshments and a raffle for a Whalebone Urban Surf girftcard.  The event, which lasted from 6 - 8 pm, opened with the show that was hosted by shop manager Stevi Vaughn.  As the models came out she described the looks they were showcasing.  Many of the models were Whalebone employees with the exception of the little ones  Roxie, Jill and Mason!  The show featured looks from Billabong, Hurley, Volcom, O'Neill, L*Space, Element, Quiksilver, RVCA and more.  Guests also got a look at some of our hard goods.  In addition to the Dakine luggage, our models also carried some surfboards from Channel Islands and JS as well as long board skateboards from Sector 9 and Arbor.   Throughout the evening guests sipped on champagne and perused the new Spring merchandise!
