Simon Buttonshaw has designed some of surfing’s most iconic logos. The big two being: Rip Curl and Quiksilver, and more parochially Wayne Lynch Surfboards, Beach Crew, Roar and Gash – core Vicco brands.

Well… Simon has cancer. Two of them. Bowel and lung. And a “long challenging battle ahead.”

His Gofundme reads:

It is with heavy hearts that we ask for your support for our father Simon Buttonshaw.

Simon has been an integral part of the surf community shaping its artistic identity through his contributions and his own artwork over the years. From fostering creativity to helping build the unique surf culture we all cherish and love today.

Unfortunately Simon has recently been diagnosed with both bowel and lung cancer, and has a long challenging battle ahead of him. He will be receiving cancer treatment at Geelong Hospital, and staying close by is essential for his care.

As Simon lives in a remote part of SA, he will need to cover the cost of relocating and renting accommodation nearer the hospital along with his two beloved dogs. This will ensure he is also close to his family so that they can provide all the support he will need.

We are asking for help to cover these expenses so that Simon can focus on his health and treatment.

Every donation -no matter how big or small-means the world to us. All funds will go directly to the cost of accommodation and other essential needs to support Simon during this difficult time. Also if anyone knows of or has appropriate accommodation to rent please let us know.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your generosity and please share.

With love

Kevala, Raphael, Shyama, Arjunal, and Prahlad.
