Surf legend Shaun Tomson and actress Tanna Frederick (interviewed here by Scott Bass) have launched a new fund raising organization “that campaigns globally to protect and restore the world’s oceans.” It’s called Project SOS, not to be confused with Project SOS (Strengthening Our Students) or Project SOS (Support our soldiers) or Project SOS (Support Open Source) or SOS (snowboard outreach society)

Project SOS is collaborating with a number of generous local and national sponsors including ZJ Boardinghouse, Quiksilver, Rocker Board Shop, Kreation Café, Charlie Palmer Restaurants and Natural Surf Technique. . . Surf participants will raise money by asking people to sponsor their commitment to surf non-stop during a five-hour shift. . . The event will be followed by a Gala with a live band, auction, cocktails, tapas, buffet dinner, a performance by Tom Curren and a celebrity “blue” carpet befitting Oceana. . . Celebrities Surfing the event include Michelle Rodriguez (”Lost”), David Chokachi (“Baywatch”) and World Champion of International Professional Surfing Peter “P.T.” Townend under Project SOS Surf Captain Frank Caronna.

The surf event is Sunday April 5, 2009 from 10 AM to 3 PM with a celebrity Gala event is Sunday night from 6 PM to 10 PM at Shuters on the Beach Ballroom in Santa Monica, California. Sounds like a great party for a good cause.
