Catch a wave of edgy inspiration from this Surf’s Up, Punk Out surf birthday party, designed by Kristen Dimond for Penny’s seventh birthday in Oxnard, California!

Created for Penny, a skateboarding, Avril Lavigne-loving birthday girl with a naturally cool style, this beach celebration blends surf culture, rock-and-roll attitude and a bold blue-green, orange and black palette.

From the graffiti-inspired paper details and picnic in the sand to custom sweets, airbrushed favors and an epic sand castle sculpture, every element celebrates Penny’s fun, go-against-the-grain personality.
