You have to do something with those used surfboards, right? Turn them into lawn chairs you can take to the beach.
I found this blog post that shows how these guys turned the surfboard above into the chair you see below.
Here’s the finished product. I’m gonna have to make one of these.

Here are a few more surfing related tattoos I found. First, here's a tattoo of Jay Alder's oil painting titled Leaning Towards Love. |
You really should checkout the full collection of surfing tattoos inspired by Jay Alders, but look at this tattoo and the painting that inspired it (below).
Another surf artist you might want to talk to about your next tattoo is Gabe Prusmack. You can call him at 409-939-8050 or checkout his myspace.
Here are a couple of surfing tattoos for kids to stick on themselves. Not bad for just $1.50.

So I found this incredible set of surf art you won’t want to stop looking at and I had to show it to you. This guy is a surfer and artist in Galveston, Texas, named Gabe Prusmack. He paints these amazing pieces of art pretty much everywhere. If you need a killer design in your home or condo, give this guy a call. If you want an incredible work of art on your next surfboard, Gabe is the guy for the job. It was hard to choose which pictures to show you here, and I was only able to narrow it down to about 20.
Call Gabe at 409-939-8050 or checkout his myspace.

Used surfboards are great for learning to surf, but most experienced surfers buy custom surfboards. They go to a local surfboard shaper and talk to them about what they want their board to be like. You can specify everything about it: the length, width, how much of a curve you want at the tip, how many fins you want it to have, how it’s cut in the back – everything.
Every beach town has its local surfboard shapers, and if you’re in Corpus Christi, Texas, Mike Doyle is the shaper you want making your custom surfboards.
Custom ordering a board built just for you is a wonderful process for the surfer who wants and expects a little more when the all important decision needs to be made on what you expect to get out of your first, or next surfboard. – Website of Custom Shaper, Mike Doyle
Mike will even fix you up with custom surfboard art.
You can view a LOT of pics of Mike’s surfboards by clicking here.
If you want the highest quality surfboard design, a board that’s made just for you in Corpus Christi, this is the guy who will be shaping your next surfboard.

For those interested in making surf art, Club of the Waves has a few really good art tutorials on drawing and painting waves.
When you get really serious, Drew Brophy has a whole section of his website dedicated to the business of surf art.
Surf art is serious business. Surf artists are needed to design surfboards, posters for companies like Billabong and Roxy, and even design shirts and hats.

It's hard to find a collection of tattoos for surfers. I have a fish on my foot. Sunrises over the water would be nice. Sharks are fun, you could maybe have one ripping a guy up or a surfer punching one. I've seen a painting of surfers surfing all over a sea monster and that would make a good tattoo. If you do tattoos or know someone who does, they could get some free publicity by sending me some pictures of surfing tattoos or drawings to put on this website. Here's one I found. |

Craig Tanner has some amazing photos of Port Aransas Pier. I didn’t even know a pier could be so attractive, but it was difficult for me to pick out just three favorites. Here are mine. These are nice enough to put in your living room, especially the first photo. That could be sold as a 3 piece set, framed, and hung in your home.
Go here to see more of Craig Tanner’s pier photos.
I don’t know if Craig even sells his art, but you can easily contact him on his blog.

Artists and avid surfers Benjamin Anderson and Sean Anderson collaborated with Mr. Zog’s Sex Wax to create a really cool wax sculpture. They’ve named this one Sexy Skull.
It would be really interesting to see more things sculpted from surf wax; if you’re up to it, sculpt something and send in a picture. We’ll do a blog just for you.
