Surf’s Up Pool Party.  I love love love summer parties!  The themes are limitless, from Luau to Patriotic, and surf to shark, you could literally have a party every week and not run out of themes!  One of my very favorite party themes is surfing.  Growing up on Florida’s East Coast, I watched Kelly Slater surf near the pier before he went pro, I wandered through Ron Jon for hours, and just loved it all.  I can’t surf at all, but I would love to have a collection of boards! 

For this party, I used my backyard space, of course.  I grabbed my son and my nephew’s surfboards and propped them on the bar, and I stacked wooden crates around them.  A simple white cake was topped with a cute little woody style surf truck.  Similar style surf truck boxes pulled double duty as lunch boxes and party favors.  

The kids were able to grab their lunch boxes with a cup of carrots and an Uncrustable, and small sand buckets were filled with chips for each kid.  I filled drink dispensers with juice.  The kids filled their cups with juice and added a fun plastic surf board straw.  More sand buckets were filled with fruit flavored candies for the kids.  A big jar of salt water taffy was a hit too.  

During the party, the kids practiced “surfing” in the pool, and posed for pics in front of a fun wave with an inflatable surfboard float.  

Before everyone left, the kids took home a surf favor box.  I filled them with candies, mini surf cars, the shovel for their sand buckets, and diy slime in fun palm tree favor containers.  They also grabbed a surfboard lollipop from a jar of DIY sand.

 This is one of my favorite parties this summer!
