Surf memorabilia and collectibles ranged from redwood boards to a 1930s bathing suit from the Moana Hotel. A 1930s balsa board went for $18,200.

So, naturally, QuicksilverEdition and surf promoter Randy Rarick, above, are gonna do it again: July 19 at the Blaisdell Center in conjunction with the Hawaii All Collectors' Show. They're now calling for items to be consigned for sale. Owners of the auction items will receive 90 percent of the money raised, with 10 percent benefiting junior lifeguard programs. Information: Hawaii Surf Promotions, 638-7266 or surfpro@hawaii.rr.com. To preview items, see www.hawaiiansurfauction.com.

Museum exhibition goes to the dogs

In an unusually themed show, 15 local artists have produced work in a wide range of media on the subject of "man's best friend." The doggie works range from the whimsical to the profound. It's a pre-event exhibition tied to The Contemporary Museum's Contempo 2003 fund-raiser, and the museum will benefit from sale of the items.

The works will be displayed on the first floor at Neiman Marcus today through April 25. Those who want to "adopt" one of the dogs can put in bid. Opening bids range from $75 to $300. Registration forms for bidding can be found online at: www.tcmhi.org. Absentee bids must be received before 5 p.m. on April 25.
