Founded by David Chang, CROIG has expanded beyond building community via social media to engage in meaningful philanthropic projects.

This Yamaha XSR 900, reimagined by Strange Industries has an incredible story.  This bike is inspired by Yamaha's 1980s racing heritage, honoring the legendary TECH21 FZR750 ridden by Kenny Roberts and Tadahiko Taira in the 1985 Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race. 

Designed in collaboration with CROIG and LA-based Strange Industries, the motorcycle features eco-friendly ampliTex flax fiber bodywork and premium upgrades throughout. The build process started with a stock Yamaha XSR900, with its bodywork first sculpted in foam, then digitally refined, and finally brought to life using 3D-printed molds

Learn more and watch the build process on CROIG’s YouTube channel.

For a minimum donation of $10 to Waves for Water, you’ve got a shot to win this one-of-a-kind motorcycle, but donations of every size offer a chance at some sweet prizes. The more you donate, the greater your chance to win, while supporting a worthy cause!

Don’t miss this chance to own a piece of Yamaha racing history and make a difference. Entries are available through March 14th, 2025.

In the morning before getting to the park, I applied insect repellent (Picaridin lotion by Sawyer).

A Sawyer Squeeze water filtration system that blows any other system out of the — say it with me — water.
