THIS IS THE LAST WEEKEND.
Sometimes a work of art carries far more than beauty.
End of the Road began as one of Hank Foto’s personal surfboards — a board that held years of ocean, memory and North Shore history. After Hank passed, his family entrusted it to Ruben, who carved it by hand into this one-of-one tribute.
Now the piece has one final purpose: to help support Hank’s son, Fender.
The auction closes Tuesday, October 6 at 6 PM HST, which means this is our last weekend to help this story reach the person who understands what this artwork truly represents.
A collector will not simply be acquiring an original Ruben Aira Jr. sculpture. They will be helping carry forward Hank’s legacy while surrounding Fender with the kind of support that only community can give.
As the holidays approach, imagine what it could mean for him to feel just how many people — friends, surfers, artists, collectors and complete strangers — chose to stand beside him.
100% of the auction proceeds go directly to support Fender.
If you cannot bid, please share this post.
If you know someone who collects art, loves surfing, knew Hank, or believes in the power of community, send it directly to them.
Sometimes the right person simply hasn’t seen the story yet.
Auction: hankfotomemorial.betterworld.org
Bidding closes Oct. 6 · 6 PM HST
