**Kelly Slater, Ben Watts, [Channel Island](http://cisurfboards.com/) surfboards and eight of the biggest models walking todays runways teamed up to create unique surfboards in aid of charity**
Kicking off New York fashion week, photographer **Ben Watts** has splashed the entire Milk gallery with his signature acid-pop colours and photography, amongst which are eight shortboards to be auctioned off in aid of eight different charities.
**Karlie Kloss**, **Allesandra Ambrósio**, **Dree Hemingway**, **Ashley Smith**, **Behati Prinsloo**, **Emanuela de Paula**, **Cintia Dicker** and **Candice Swanepoel** all agreed to appear on the boards that were designed by world champion surfboarder **Kelly Slater**.
Crowned world ASP surf champion eleven times, Kelly Slater added his magic touch to the design process to create the [‘Whip’](http://www.facebook.com/pages/CI-Surfboards/180840325270261), the Bugatti Veyron of sharp shortboards. Hanging on a wall or carving up fast waves, these beauties will never go into mass production and will be unique to each lucky private bidder.
Grinding up a killer wave with Allesandra Ambrósio on your side, what can be hotter than that?
