ABC's Extreme Make-Over: Home Edition
Probably one of the most amazing things
I have ever witnessed. Dean Miller Surf Bedding got a call from the TV
show "Extreme Makeover" to donate some items for the Ripatti family who
were selected by ABC to get a complete extreme house make over. Ty
Pennington's design team was interested in our Hawaiian baby bedding for
the Ripatti's little girl Jordan. We sewed up an entire surfboard
themed crib set for their daughter Jordan, and made a custom tin sign
just for her that said "J" is for Jordan with a stick figure hula girl
dancing.

I went up to the Ripatti's house in Redondo Beach,
California to drop off the custom bedding, and was amazed at what I was
saw. This crew literally built an entire new house inside and out in
basically a week. The place was packed with people in those blue ABC
Extreme Make Over t-shirts.
You would walk in, and there were people
everywhere working. In the same small area you would see one guy with a
giant saw cutting up the floor, while above him is some other volunteer
priming the walls. It was amazing that nobody got hurt. I got a tour of
the house from one of the production folks, and then we went into the
garage to put our donations. This garage was Filled with cool stuff!
Quiksilver had donated surfboards, and wetsuits, there were tiki
statues, kayaks, new bikes, anything you needed for the beach was here.
It was great to see all the surf community come together in such a
generous fashion, and donate so much stuff to try to make their life a
little easier.
