The Surfrider Foundation raised $29,600 at their 5th annual Celebrity Expression Session this past weekend, to help the Foundation continue its efforts towards protecting our world's oceans, waves and beaches. This was a 500% increase in funds raised from last year.

This year's event, which was hosted by musician Martyn Lenoble and fianc�e, actress Christina Applegate, and sponsored by Barefoot Wine, Cali Bamboo and the Malibu Surfing Association, drew an eclectic mix of celebrities from world of music, film, and television. The celebrities, which included Anthony Kiedis and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction's bassist Eric Avery, and actors Austin Nichols, Brian Geraghty, Eric Balfour and Sam Trammell, were all treated to a rare opportunity; the chance to surf Malibu's famed First Point all by themselves.

For each wave caught and ridden, event sponsors donated $200. Additionally, away from the water, celebrities encouraged their social network followers to make donations to the Surfrider Foundation via www.crowdrise.com and raised an additional $4,600.
