Rainbow Sandals and the Surfing Heritage Foundation team up with limited edition sandals

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 14 July, 2010 : - - Proceeds to directly benefit the Surfing Heritage Foundation’s preservation programs. Rainbow Sandals have been equipping discerning surfer’s feet for over 35 years. What started out as one man’s mission to improve upon the quality of sandals so many years ago has turned into a worldwide operation that has set the benchmark for quality, fit and comfort. 

Having a pair of Rainbows under your toes is indeed a special place to walk! Jay “Sparky” Longley, founder and owner of Rainbow Sandals, and a Founding Partner and member of the Board of Directors for the Surfing Heritage Foundation, came up with a winning idea to not only equip a few more surfers feet.

But to also provide a direct benefit to the Surfing Heritage’s mission of preserving the history and culture of surfing.  Sparky’s program idea was to design a limited edition pair (1,000 pairs) of his famous sandals for the Surfing Heritage Foundation to use to help build its membership program and thus its preservation activities.

“This is a significant contribution to the Surfing Heritage Foundation and one that we are very appreciative to be a part of.” said, Dick Metz, Founder of the Surfing Heritage Foundation.  Metz further states, “I know in my travels around the world that surfers tend to rely on certain things they get by on and one of those is a good pair of sandals, it’s the standard by which we all travel!” 

In addition to the special Rainbow sandals, the Heritage has created a special membership package that not only gets you the sandals but also provides a Surfing Heritage T-Shirt, a $10.00 Swell.com gift card, a year subscription to Transworld Surf, a 2010 Cooperfish Calendar featuring the boards being auctioned on ebay (20% of the proceeds go to Surfing Heritage), a bar of Sticky Bumps wax,  decals and a one year membership to the Foundation.
