ORIGINAL SURFBOARD ART

A custom-painted surfboard featuring a detailed illustration of an octopus and sea life on a blue ocean background, displayed on a white sheet in an indoor studio space. Inside the HLS ocean art gallery in Newquay, Original art piece featuring an underwater ocean reef scene only available at HLSdesigner, painted by artist Hannah Singleton, ocean inspired art from Cornwall

Available and custom surfboard art by HLSdesigner.

Giving a tired board a new lease of life, inspired by the ocean and the coast of Cornwall.

Each surfboard creates a unique and bold statement piece, an unsubtle way of showcasing the ocean in the home. Each one starts its journey reclaimed and saved from a purpose destined for landfill. To give each piece a new lease of life, it is then upcycled and lovingly painted to bring a beautiful representation of the ocean. Whether this is one that has caught your eye from my collection, or a fully commissioned piece - you can find a piece that can reflect your connection to the coast.

I source all surfboards carefully, for a board that can tell its own story, retired boards looking for a new chance instead of being thrown into landfill. Allowing the process to be sustainable, each finished artwork is original and built to last. 

If you already have a board that is personal to you, I can help to immortalise a feeling in painting that board you have shared so many memories riding the waves with. To display on the wall for years to come. Share your stories and the feeling you have, the memories you have made. Whether this be your favourite surfing spot, a dreamy beach inspired work of art, or the freeing feeling of the rush in mid duck dive. Together, we can transform your cherished board into a unique artwork that preserves your memories.

Please note: All of my surfboard artworks are designed for indoor display purposes.

Available Surfboard Artworks

Each surfboard artwork is an original piece creating a one off unique statement.

Bringing retired boards back to life with a new purpose, imaginative creation developed in my studio through layers of meticulous detail, pigments and textures featuring brushwork for added flair and expression throughout.

Please note :- There is only a small number of surfboard slots available each year - this is based on the time it takes to create such pieces and the detail involved in the craftsmanship to ensure a high quality finish.

Below are the boards currently available.

PROCESS:

There are FOUR main options that I focus on when commissions are open. First you would choose the theme in which you would like the finished viewpoint to showcase - then we discuss the overall feel of the piece that you aim to receive, this could entail colour palette, composition through rendered sketches, location, a memory or a scene. I then repair and prep the board for painting. Through each step - you get to see process shots as the board progresses to its final stages as I keep you updated throughout. 

The four options to choose from are as follows:

  • UNDERWATER
  • WAVES
  • BEACH/COASTAL SCENE
  • SEA CREATURE

Once finished - The board goes through a delicate layering process of gloss coats to ensure the artwork stays protected over time. Wall mounted surfboard hooks will also be provided with each piece ready for installation - I do not add hangers to the back of the board as I like to leave the back in its own form - displaying makers marks, sponsors and any small wear the board had endured during its time at sea. This allows the board to tell its story; the memories it holds and the journeys faced.
